Two-Part Workshop
In this two-part hands-on workshop, students will learn foundational embroidery techniques such as threading your needle, transferring designs, and mastering a variety of simple stitches during the first session. With guidance from the instructor, students will apply their learned skills to personalize their own embroidered tote bag during the second session, perfect for everyday use or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
All materials are included! Students can arrive to class ready to create. Each participant will receive a tote bag, embroidery hoop, needles (with holder), thread/er, pin cushion, scissors, bag to keep all items in, and pattern options to choose from.
