Introduction to Embroidery

$35.00

Sunday, August 30
10:00am-1:00pm
4652 W. Washington Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90016

Learn the basics of hand embroidery in this beginner-friendly workshop on Sunday, August 30, from 10:00am–1:00pm.

Whether you’ve never picked up a needle before or are simply looking for a creative morning of stitching, this class will guide you through the fundamentals step by step.

We’ll start from the very beginning — learning how to split embroidery thread, thread a needle, and get comfortable handling materials — before practicing a handful of foundational stitches using a take-home stitch sampler worksheet. From there, you’ll sketch your own simple design onto a small embroidery hoop and use the stitches you’ve learned to create a one-of-a-kind piece of hand-stitched art.

At the end of class, you’ll also learn how to neatly finish the back of your embroidery using felt, so your piece is ready to display or gift.

All materials are included, including:

  • embroidery thread & needles

  • fabric & small wooden embroidery hoops

  • scissors

  • felt for backing & finishing materials

No experience necessary — just bring yourself and enjoy a cozy morning of slow stitching and making by hand.
