About this Event
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Have a favorite photo of yourself, your fam, a pet, or your favorite place? Let’s upgrade it with some hand embroidery! This embroidery class is perfect for beginners and comes with everything you need to conquer 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. In this class, you will learn and practice several different embroidery stitches on top of your photo. Nichole will also show you how to display your embroidery artwork.
Grab a glass of wine and get ready to learn, relax, and fall in love with embroidery!
During class you will receive:
- One embroidery hoop
- Needle
- Embroidery floss
- Fabric with photo printed
- Original pattern based on your photo
- Step-by-step instructions
- 2 glasses of wine
Want a second photo embroidery kit to-go? Tell us ahead of time and Nichole will bring you two! (Additional fee)
(Submit 3 photos to Nichole at [email protected]. One will be printed. Photos are required two days prior to 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!
