About the class

Get in the spirit of Dia de Muertos by making these charming little felt sugar skulls. Applique brightly colored shapes and embellish with embroidery stitches. Fill with a bit of stuffing, add a ribbon loop at the top and use it to decorate your home. Or leave it flat and add a pin back to wear as a fun brooch. Open to crafters of all levels; basic hand sewing experience suggested.

Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.
