Course Curriculum
.
"I started with Reena's sleepy numbat which was such an easy free tutorial to follow. I had missed some of the offers but have purchased a few of the more advanced tutorials. Reena's tutorials are some of the best I have seen. Every step is explained and shown in photographs. I realise that it if you are fairly new to felting it would have been an advantage to have purchased some of the earlier tutorials. I have been felting for about 3 years and I have learnt a lot from Reena and I am still learning."
