Felting Fun!

We are thrilled to introduce Linda Everhard, fiber artist, in this class schedule! Linda is an accomplished designer who has been featured on HGTV’s Crafters Coast to Coast, and has been published in Haute Handbags as well as Sew Somerset. Linda has many of her designs on display with us currently, and will be sharing these and more in her classes. She has an enthusiastic personality, and is just bubbly when she talks about her passion!

Introduction to Machine Felting
Linda E
Unlike hand felting where the only fibers you can felt are wool, machine felting allows you to introduce other fibers, such as silk, tulle, organza, Angelina fibers, and even polyester yarns to your projects. Linda will help you open up a whole new window of creative expression as she shows you all about machine felting and embellishing techniques in this fun lecture/demo/trunk show. $10
   •  Sunday, 3-5 PM: January 11
   •  Saturday, 2-4 PM: February 21

 

 

Machine Felting on a Sweatshirt
Linda E
Linda will guide you through all the steps to embellish your own sweatshirt using your felting or punching machine. Choose from a dog or cat design and learn the many creative techniques that Linda has incorporated into this fun project! $25
   •  Saturday, 12-3 PM: February 28

 

 

 

Hobby 350P
Create unique and colorful effects with the punching machine hobby™ 350p

The hobby™ 350p punching machine is the creative partner of your sewing machine. Instead of using thread, it works with several specially shaped needles to create the most un believable effects. All you need are scraps of fabric, yarn, wool, felt, denim, silk – each material results in a different effect. Just lay two or more materials on top of one another and you’re ready to go. The needles of the hobby™ 350p punching machine mesh the fibers of the fabrics together. The results are whimsical details and dramatic surfaces. Give it a try! It’s pure creative fun and an unlimited source of inspiration.
