Come pick up a hoop and thread and learn the basics of hand embroidery! Katie will introduce you to six common stitches including the versatile backstitch, elegant chain stitch, and dainty French knot. You will begin by making an embroidery sampler to get you running with a needle and thread. Then you’ll combine these stitches with a few more to sew a small flower bouquet. Along the way, you’ll learn some tricks on threading needles, tying knots, untangling thread, and backing embroidery hoops. You will leave with your new embroidery skills, including the building blocks of 9 common stitches to use in future embroidery projects, your embroidery sampler, and your embroidered flower bouquet that you can gift or display on your wall!

All of the supplies and materials will be provided in class.
