EMBROIDERY BASICS WORKSHOP
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 1ST
2-5PM

Cal was a clothing designer for Urban Outfitters and Free People before creating her own label, Hodge Podge. She teaches sewing and patternmaking throughout the US and we are so lucky to have her join us for the day at Sullivan Public!

Adding a touch of embroidery can turn nearly any plain thing into an art piece or heirloom. You can stitch on clothes, home goods, accessories and other textiles you’ve made yourself, or bought pre-made. By embellishing on these items, you can make gifts more personal, commemorate events, hide mending or stains, or just give a tired old item a new life.
We will learn 12 different classic embroidery stitches and experiment on a free-form sampler, or a project of your choice. Once you know how, you’ll want to add a touch of stitched decoration to everything you own, make or give.

Please bring: a fat quarter or approximately 18" square of woven cotton or linen cloth (gingham works great) for your sampler, embroidery floss and needles, and some small scissors

Workshop limited to 8 participants. Adults and Young Adults Welcome.
