It's going to get chilly so let's get cosy in a new Boiled Wool Overcoat!
Boiled wool makes for cosy layers in this cool cool weather! It is a relatively easy fabric to sew with and you can leave the edges raw. But there are a few tricks to sewing it.
Join Megan McKee-Griffith, in this 4 hour class to learn the basics of sewing with boiled wool. You'll learn how to cut it out properly and the special overlapping seam technique.
