Welcome! In this class you will learn how to make your very own Pet Orange :-) Join folk singer and seamstress Laura Lamn in slow stitching this cute toy.

You will be walked through step-by-step and learn all the hand sewing stitches and embroidery techniques.

This class is suitable for total beginners or those with some sewing experience who are looking for a fun project.

We will use these stitches; running stitch, back stitch, chain stitch, raw appliqué, turned appliqué and french knot.

What will you need?
Scrap fabric - Orange, green (or another colour for pupils), black and white
Thread - Matching colours to fabric looks great, but not essential. Just regular thread you'd use for the sewing machine.
Stuffing - You can use fabric scraps, wool, or beans
Needle - A small needle for hand sewing, the kind that come in a sewing kit, nothing fancy!
Thimble - Metal or leather to protect fingers
Sharp Scissors
Fabric Marker - Tailor's chalk or fabric pen. I love the ones you can iron off.
Printer - To print out the pattern, but you can also draw it out
Beeswax block - This can be useful, but not essential, to run over your thread to stop it snagging on your fabric.

Have fun! See you in Class Laura XOXOX
