"This free tutorial was my first introduction to needle felting. I found Reena’s instruction videos very easy to follow with clear instructions and information. Got me hooked on needle felting and was nice it was free so I could see if needle felting suited me."

"I first met Reena at a Numbat workshop and have since completed all 12 Aussie Babies. Reena's support has been fantastic and her instructions are very clear. I highly recommend the series and suggest that anyone interested in having a shot at this craft should go for it. It is very satisfying and and highly addictive."
