Requirements list for workshop with Kath Roberts- Sheer and Dissolvable Fabric Flowers - Saturday 4th June 2022
Kath will bring a selection of sheer fabrics, florist/cake wires. Also a couple of containers to put water in to dissolve the fabric.
Please note, if you decide to do dissolvable flowers this can use up a lot of thread, that is why Kath will be showing both ways of doing the flowers.

- Sewing machine equipment: needles, embroidery foot, scissors and embroidery hoop (approximately 8-10 inches).
- Threads in your choice of colours for the flowers.
- Sheer fabrics in your choice of colours.

- Florist or cake wires in green.
- Fabric marker or friction pen.
- Beads in your choice of colour.
