Creative Hands

A strategically placed moment of handwork on an otherwise plain garment can change it from ho hum to coveted and cherished. 

Part of learning how to sew is learning how to sew by hand. A fun way to get familiar with a needle and thread is through embroidery. Try it out in our Hand Sewing and Visible Mending workshops. Each workshop is a new project. Try them all!
  • Wednesday, August 13 from 5 - 8pm : Vegetarian pizza and white wine - fern embroidery on linen
  • Sunday, September 21 from 1 - 4pm : Carrot birthday cake and coffee / tea - Monograms and alphabets - bring something to monogram
  • Sunday, October 12th from 1 - 4pm : Pan de Muerto and Horchata - Dia de los Muertos cross stitch bookmark.
