Join Advanced Oxford Instructor Simone Vojvodin in showcasing gorgeous wool fabrics by using them as the foundation backing for punch needle rug hooking! By learning to punch wool yarn into wool fabric, you can easily create beautiful punched pillows. Since the wool fabric acts as both the backing and background, projects work up quickly and most students will have a completed project by the end of class. You'll also learn how to add wool appliqué and a fancy stitch with the punch needle to embellish your design, plus a super simple method for pillow cover assembly!
There are five different pattern kit options to choose from, so there is sure to be something for everyone. A fun class with practical applications.
All of our live online courses are delivered through Zoom, so you can join in the fun from anywhere you have internet available!
