About this Event
Class Description:
Description: A hand-embroidered photo combines traditional craft with fond memories to make a unique and heartfelt gift! Bring a loved one to double down – making this a gift AND experience you both will remember for years to come! This embroidery class is perfect for beginners and comes with everything you need to complete your own photo embroidery project. Your instructor — Nichole Sorhaindo, founder of The Other Cat – will impose a photo of your choosing onto fabric before class. You will learn and practice several different embroidery stitches on top of your photo. Since each photo is unique, the final pattern will vary, creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art that you and your loved ones can oogle at forever.
You will receive:
One embroidery hoop
Needle
Embroidery floss
Fabric with photo printed
Original pattern based on your photo
Step-by-step instructions
Want a second photo embroidery kit to-go? Tell us ahead of time and Nichole will bring you two! (Additional fee)
(IMPORTANT: Submit 3 photos to Nichole. One will be printed. Photos are required 2 DAYS before class.)
About the Instructor:
I’m Nichole, creator and founder of The Other Cat blog and shop. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but call Washington, D.C., my home. My mother, a woman who bedazzled pretty much everything, encouraged creative expression through arts and crafts. She was the DIY Queen. She taught me how to sew, embroider, and crotchet; and supported all of my creative curiosities. She refused to buy me a Barbie Dream House, but agreed to buy all of the supplies needed to design and build my own from scratch (and I did, complete with an elevator). In any moment when I’m building, painting, embroidering, crafting, or drawing — I’m at peace. It’s my opportunity for meditation, my stress relief, my happy place — and I’m excited to share it all with you!
