Embroidery 101

$50.00

Embroidery 101 is a relaxed workshop for beginners curious about trying something new or those ready to revisit a craft you haven’t touched since summer camp🏕️. You’ll learn the foundational techniques of hand embroidery while creating a stitch sampler and customize your own personal item 🧢. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity (and something you’d love to stitch on).

Over the course of this 2 hour session, you’ll learn a handful of beginner stitches, explore how to transfer your own design, and get plenty of time to practice and play. We’ll end with time to start embroidering a personal item using your new skills— like a tote, shirt, or hat 💥.

Embroidery 101 is capped at 16 students. Registration is open until the class fills or 12–24 hours before start time. If it’s full or the timing doesn’t work for you,[ hop on the waitlist.]
