embroidery with Lovergirl Creates
April 22 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
🧵Ticket includes an embroidery hoop and fabric, needle, thread, and live instruction. 🪡
We will be using floral arrangements as our inspiration to learn embroidery stitches including the woven rose, french knot, and fishbone. No experience necessary – we will go over how to get started before diving into these beginner-friendly stitches to create a floral design.
Fabric will be provided, but feel free to bring an article of clothing to embroider if preferred.
These workshops are pay-what-you-can according to three different ticketing tiers:
$10, $20, $30
💐Hope to see you there✨
