This was a great class to learn to stitch on garments. I loved watching the creative process unfold and the thought process the presentors used to "doddle" on their garments. LOVED it!!

This is a stitch along that would be improved by establishing some stitching basics from the get go. I did like the time taken to explore where to find or imagine your own motifs. Thank you for the links to the books and artists. i am reviewing as a regular stitcher and avid embroiderer, hense the comment.
