Learn the N'Debele stitch at the Bead Cottage

Next month at The Bead Cottage proves to be busy, with many different beading classes available to the public. One exciting class coming the first week of August involves learning the N'Debele stitch, a unique African stitch used to make beautiful jewelry. One you have mastered the stitch, you can go on to make stunning, exotic choker necklaces. About.com has a terrific pattern for a herringbone choker.
