Classes


Embroidery is often seen as an art form in its own right; however, throughout history, it has frequently been combined with other art forms, such as patchwork, to create embellishments. Other enjoyable applications include decorating clothes, jeans, purses, and jackets, or personalizing special gifts. This class is designed to initiate you into a fun project while teaching the basics and helping you discover the joy of doodling with embroidery as you practice and perfect your newly learned stitches.
