Beginning Embroidery With Cirrus

Learn the fundamentals of decorative embroidery in this 2-hour class

Learn to liven up textile with embroidery, the ornamentation of cloth with thread. In the same way that every word is made of letters, every embroidered design is made up of individual stitches. The secret is knowing how to put them together. In this class students will learn the basic stitches needed to create their own designs, but even these simple stitches by themselves can be used to great effect! All materials needed for this class will be provided.
