About the event
Plaited Cattail Vessels - 7-strand plaits and the invisible stitch.
Learn a versatile, practical technique that you can use to make bags and vessels out of an abundant plant, cattails. We’ll learn to braid a 7-strand plait and how it can be stitched together to make everything from market tote bags to rugs! You’ll get ample opportunity to practice and refine and you can leave with a small completed project, or the beginning of a larger project to work on a little at a time. This is a great technique to work on if you have winter crafting on your agenda and would like a project that you can work on a little at a time. You’ll leave with a darning needle and more cattails to finish a larger project, if you like.
