The 5 ½ inch by 3-inch antique treasure and its adaptation conceal three surprises! This class includes the Sewing Shoe plus a scissor sheath and a pin square.
Kits will also contain needles, glass head pins, Bristol board, buckram, pellon, an antique shoe button, batting, French doctor’s flannel, and a tiny bit of wool from the fluffy sheep that live happily in the pastures of Colonial Williamsburg, VA.
Stitches: Round Eyelet, Algerian Eye, Queen Stitch, Elongated Cross, Herringbone, Florentine, Nun’s Stitch (Inverted and Regular), Cross Stitch over One and over Two, and a simple Blackwork pattern.
Instructions will include stitch diagrams, large easy to read charts, a linen layout, and step by step finishing instructions with photos.
In addition to reviewing the materials, instructions, stitches, templates and layouts in class, we will make a paper replica of the shoe, stitch an Inverted Nun’s Stitch square and make a funny looking square silk berry and the bow. Students will be able to successfully create and construct all of the class projects by the end of the day.
