Discover the joy of slow stitching in this creative wool appliqué workshop featuring the charming Sue Spargo Polka Dot Bird design. Using a Sue Spargo pre-cut wool kit, students will build a whimsical, textured bird full of personality while learning foundational hand embroidery and decorative stitching techniques.
This class embraces Sue Spargo’s signature style—layered wool, playful color, and rich surface texture created entirely through hand stitching. The Polka Dot Bird is the perfect project for exploring creativity through thread, as students add detail, texture, and movement one stitch at a time.
