Join the It Takes a Village Felt Panel Sew-Along!

Hello friends! This is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story, a fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer. And I want to invite you to join my upcoming sew-along!

Teach, play and act out the heroes in your community with the It Takes a Village Felt Doll & Bag set! This sew along will walk you through cutting, stitching, and embellishing felt dolls, as well as stitching zippered truck pouches in which to carry the pieces.

Join me starting November 20 as we make the “It Takes a Village Felt Panel” project together! It’s the perfect project to unleash your creativity and involve your children — and the SAL is totally FREE!

This felt panel project creates cute zippered bags that will entertain children with hours of playtime and imagination! In this sew-along, I’ll share tips for sewing the bags. The felt shapes can be simply cut out, or you can do basic sewing and add embellishments through hand-embroidery! During this sew-along, I’ll walk you through all the steps at creating and adding special touches to your felt shapes!
