The Cauldron and the Dress

Halloween lovers will be thrilled with the newest class at Enriched Stitch--Gunilda and the Cauldron (from Melissa Shirley Designs).   There are several interesting techniques here, from the couched trim on the dress, to the stetched Flair for smoke, to the hair and the mess in the cauldron.  Enjoy!
