Fuse Your Bloomers
Half-Day Workshop
Build a blooming garden from colorful fused fabrics. Learn basic fusing techniques like free-cutting, bias fusing, collage building, and pattern transfer. Celebrate the joy of improvisational design and create your flower composition with a kit of hand-dyed fabrics and sampler of embroidery threads. It’s fun, it’s easy, and no sewing machine is needed.
