Birdie
Sun., March 30th
10-5 with a lunch break
Colleen Moody, $175.00
 
Workshop Note From Colleen-
 
Join me as we create this sweet springtime hanging bird doll.  In this workshop you will receive a pre-sculpted doll.  She will be ready to paint and dress.  But wait!  Before we do that, you will learn to do all the sculpting by creating your own bird first.  Once you have sculpted your own, you will set her aside to dry and you will work on finishing the piece provided to you in your kit.  At the end of the workshop you will go home with a finished piece and the bird you sculpted in class to be finished up at home.  
All sewing will be done by hand.  Her dress may be fancy but the construction of it is not.  If you can thread a needle, tie a knot and sew a running stitch you can complete this adorable doll.

The skirt on this doll is approximately 16 inches long and 24 inches wide. It certainly does not have to be this exact size.  I am just giving you this measurement as a guide.  The sample has 2 layers of skirting as the pink top layer is very sheer.
