I have been wanting/needing a class on sewing fur for a very long time. I was so thankful when Rebecca decided to teach one. Rebecca was kind, patient and willing to answer any question I had. I learned so much in two days. I can't wait to start making beautiful things out of the fur we harvest ourselves.
With no formal sewing training I was able to follow Rebecca’s instructions and hand sew my wonderful fur mittens! Had such a fun experience! Can’t wait to try at home!
