Event Description:
Adding a touch of embroidery can turn nearly any plain thing into an art piece or heirloom, and can keep items we love with minor flaws out of the landfill. 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:
- approximately 18″ square scrap of woven cotton or linen cloth. An old pillowcase works great.
- embroidery floss and needles
- small scissors
Cause:
Programs in the Crafts with a Cause! series combine the fun of creating and learning with the joy and fulfillment of giving back- to the earth, to a good cause, to a group doing good work.
In this class you will learn techniques that will allow you to not just salvage, but improve items you no longer wear due to a small hole or stain. Keep those clothes out of the landfill! A portion of the registration fee will also be donated to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary (http://woodstocksanctuary.org/).
