Two ninety-minute sessions meeting on Sunday afternoons
Imagine whiling away your days and nights, hoop in hand, sewing lovely textile embellishments a la Elizabeth Darcy, Daphne Bridgerton or today’s Arounna Khounnoraj!
If you’re like us and you find inspiration in hand sewn decor in designs that range from traditional to modern day, in color palettes of your choosing, this beginner-friendly class is for you!
Start your embroidery journey here. You will learn a variety of embroidery stitches, and be encouraged to try out new stitches outside of class on your own between the two sessions.
Stitches that we will cover include a range of essential stitches that you’ll certainly need in your sewing toolkit, as well as more textured stitches that may or may not be complicated but definitely look it!*
Running stitch
Back stitch
Stem stitch
Straight stitch
Satin stitch
French knots
Woven wheel stitch

*This course, versus our Visible Mending course also offered in April, focuses on traditional embroidery stitches you’ll have seen growing up here in the US or in Europe (for example) and not on how these stitches are used to mend and sustain garments and other everyday textiles, or embroidery from other cultures. For the mending and sustaining, consider our Visible Mending course! For more on other cultures, check out our Sashiko Stitching course, or another resource, Tatter!
