I AM CARIBBEING Presents: Sip + Create w/Ghost City Queers

I AM CARIBBEING'S IX Annual Holiday Market Experience Presents: Sip & Create w/Ghost City Queers

Join Ghost City Queers for a cozy, creative evening of stitching and self expression. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the basics of fabric collage by pinning down your own layout and stutching it with simple running stitches to create pattern, texture and story.
No sewing experience is required — just bring your imagination and a willingness to play with fabric.
