Inspired by the collaborative drawing game invented in 1925, this class reimagines the process by transferring a folded figure design onto fabric using water-soluble stabilizer. Stitch each section with variegated thread and your favorite embroidery stitches to create a whimsical, one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates surprise, creativity, and collaboration. Rebecca also includes a set of mix-and-match Exquisite Corpse cards, making it easy to create your own imaginative characters using her playful designs.
