Join Andrea for a captivating session where you'll master the art of embroidery under her expert guidance. You're in for an enriching experience!
The workshop kicks off with a warm introduction. Andrea will unveil the magic of different stitches, detailing how each interacts with varied fabric types. As you get hands-on, you'll practice and perfect three distinct stitches, such as the intricate chain stitch or the classic running stitch, among others.
Feeling inspired? You can then select from a range of patterns or even bring to life your unique design, as long as it aligns with the workshop's time and complexity constraints. With your chosen design and newfound stitching skills, you'll then embark on the transformative process of embroidering your selected spot on a crisp white t-shirt provided by Andrea or a garment you brought yourself. Got a minor tear or wear on your garment? Andrea will show you how to camouflage it with your embroidery, adding both functionality and flair.
By the end of the session, you'll proudly walk away with your very own embroidered masterpiece and the skills to continue the work at home.
