Have you always wanted to learn to adorn your fabrics with beautiful embroidery but don’t know where to start? Well, my stitch-curious friends, this course is for you! The word embroidery comes from the French word broderie, meaning embellishment. In various forms, embroidery has existed since the production of fabric! In this workshop we will work on a custom stitch-sampler to cover the essentials and get you stitching like a pro.

When completed you will have a beautiful piece of art to hang on your wall - and you can tell all your friends, “I made that!” You will learn how to properly thread embroidery needles as well as all about the essential tools of embroidery from snips to hoops. We will cover types of embroidery floss and their functions, how to select your fabrics and stretch them onto your embroidery hoop, how to transfer your patterns and designs onto your fabric (in two different ways!), and, of course, how to embroider some really cool stitches, including chain stitch, backstitch, stem stitch, french knots, and more!

Skills + Materials
This is a beginner workshop and no previous experience is needed to participate. Workshop supplies are included in the fee. You will receive everything you need to create your sampler and supplies to take home with you for your next project - 8" hoop, embroidery needle set, fabric, transfer pen & paper, and plenty of thread to bring home!
