The Art of Embroidery

Join us for a fun and creative embroidery class where you'll learn the basics of hand-stitching! We'll start with simple stitches, perfect for beginners, and adapt for those who already have the basics down. No experience necessary! 

In our second session, bring an item of your own, like a pair of jeans, a sweater, or even a bag. We'll show you how to iron on a cool patch and add your own embroidered designs to personalize it and make it totally unique.
