Join Craig in sewing this sled kite.  Your sewing machine should have straight stitch, simple Zig-Zag and 3 step Zig-Zag. The usual sewing supplies with black thread and other colors of thread are needed in your tool set. The body of the kite is Black with gray Brick Work and White rear "tubes".  "Pre-sewn" Stain Glass will be provided.

DUAL-SIDED pattern transfer techniques will be featured, along with using adhesive-fabrics.  This project features the use of fabric scraps from other projects to make the stain glass panels.

Workshop will feature instructions on creating Stain Glass panels but prepared sheets of "Stain Glass" will be provided to accelerate completion. An easy method of transferring patterns to BOTH sides of the project to facilitate color stacking and appliqué stitching will be taught.
