Overview
This introductory workshop on applique for regalia will let you try traditional applique methods for Pow Wow regalia. The ways are raw edge (or zig zag) and free-motion embroidery. Rhonda Doxtator will lead participants through the process of design and colour selection, which is significant in regalia making. Participants will choose their favourite method to create a unique pouch to bring home with them.
