| Soft Vase |
 |
| |
| This is an innovative way to use up those moth eaten or "Shrunken by my well-intentioned DH" wool sweaters! Students in this class pre-shrank wool sweaters, then embellished them with wool roving using the Clover Felting Tool. They then added an embroidery or two with Sulky Blendable or Rayon thread. Bind the sides, insert a hander and a heavy duty freezer bag for water, and you have a Soft Vase! This vase will hand nicely on your wall or even on your front door for that welcoming touch. |

| Oma Pillow |
 |
| |
| Jane made up this pillow with a photo of Elsa and her grand-daughter Annelise. When she brought it into the store for Elsa, Elsa couldn't help but shed a tear! That is the reaction you will get when you make up this pillow for someone. It is truly unique and special. Students in Jane's class used home dec ends and printed the picture onto Colour Plus Printer fabric with her home inkjet printer. They then pieced it together, embroidered it with a special saying (ours says "Oma loves you!" and added some Lorna beads for the crowning touch. What a perfect gift! |

| Coverstitch Jacket |
 |
| |
| This is Elsa's famous Coverstitch Jacket! With it, she won first place in the serger category at a recent Husqvarna Viking International convention. Elsa used an old boiled wool coat and cut it up to re-style it. Students can do the same or create a coat from scratch. They then use the coverstitch and chainstitch on the Huskylock 936 along with decorative trims and threads to embellish the jacket. The large opening on the 936 allows for the bulky body of the garment to be easily stitched. A final touch is the custom closure made of ribbon-yarn. |
