PROJECT: Students will bring an item of clothing to embroider on. Examples of items that work well are hats, canvas shoes, jeans, t-shirts, knitwear fabric backpacks (basically nothing too stretchy). Students will have 18 project designs (from the book) to chose from. All materials are provided for the class, at the end of class you will be able to take home any supplies you were working with, plus a copy of the book! You can also purchase additional supplies to take home.

DISCUSSION: How to transfer your pattern to clothing, fundamental embroidery stitches, tips and tricksfor working with clothing, how to wash embroidered garments, and the use of stabilizers.  

PREREQUISITE: None! All experience levels are welcome.

NOTE: Class size limited to 8 people. All materials provided. Masks Optional
