april showers
- watercolour & embroidery -

Use a combination of embroidery and watercolour to make this cute "April showers" bear. You'll learn how to use basic embroidery stitches as well as specific watercolour techniques to use on fabric. I'll also show you how to turn a bit of scrap plastic into a unique patterned umbrella for your bear. Whether you have lots of experience with watercolour and embroidery or none at all, you'll be able to create your own sweet spring art.
