Description: If you’ve never embroidered or if it’s been a while and you couldn’t tell your running stitch from your backstitch, this is the class for you!
This is truly a basics workshop. We’ll go over the materials needed for embroidery, how to use them, where to buy them, and how to store them. We’ll then start embroidering! Following a demo of four basic stitches (running, backstitch, split, and chain), you’ll practice with a sampler pattern. Once you feel comfy with the stitches, you’ll pick from three beginner patterns for your final piece.
Feel free to bring your favorite beverage to enjoy while crafting. We have glasses available, no need to bring disposables.
When: Sunday, 8/2 1-4PM
Skills taught: Preparing fabric with a simple design, running, backstitch, split, and chain stitch, how to decide how many strands to embroidery with, what stitch benefits which patterns, and how to finish a piece.
Skills needed: None! All that is required is a desire to learn and a touch of patience.
Supplies used: We’ll provide all supplies: patterns, water soluble stabilizer, embroidery floss, fabric, embroidery hoops, needles, and scissors.
What you’ll leave with: A stitch sampler and a finished embroidery piece (or the materials to finish at home!)
Meet your teacher: Gabrielle has over 30 years of crafting under her belt, and a love of community in her heart. She built CraftNation to be exactly the kind of place she always wished existed. Walk in, grab some supplies, and create. No class required, no experience needed, no pressure whatsoever. Or sign up for a class and learn something completely new. However you show up, the point is the same: make something with your hands and find your people while you're at it.
All workshops at CraftNation are offered at a sliding scale. For guidance on which price you should pay, please see our Sliding Scale page.
