Measurements for this basket are approximately 7 inches long and 6 inches wide on the top and 4 1/2 inches high from the side.

Greeting Cards
Handmade Celebration Greeting Cards
Create your own beautiful greeting cards using fabric scraps. In this three hour class you will create
5 beautiful unique notecards. If you have never sewn using a free motion foot on a sewing machine, Marsha will show you how, you can literally draw with a sewing machine!
Sewing Skill: Basic sewing machine skills are a plus although the cards can be sewn by hand.
Supplies to bring (if you have them): fabric scraps (cotton works best), bits of lace, buttons and ribbon. We will also have hand woven fabrics and supplies to choose from at the class.
