Join me and 15-19 other amazing humans from around the world in this 1.5 hour zoom workshop. In it, you will learn everything you need to know to start stitching staggering works of genius.

I will teach you about the materials, how to get set up to stitch, working with patterns or designing your own pieces, and we will kick if off with backstitch. There's much to learn and it's zero-pressure and wicked fun.

After you fall madly in love with embroidery, you can join in the #YearOfStitch in my Patreon community where I'll teach you a new stitch every week for a whole year! There are free patterns, a community of likeminded folks, and craftivism challenges to get you flexing your activist muscles.

You will need to have your own materials for this workshop so here's what you will need:

an embroidery hoop (5-7" is usually best but any size will do)
a piece of light colored cotton fabric (got a tea towel or old sheets around? Use those)
a tapestry, chenille, or embroidery needle
pair of scissors
embroidery floss (whatever colors you like)
a water erasable marking pen, transfer pen, or friction pen (don't have that? don't worry we can work with pencil, chalk, ballpoint pen, whatever you got)

That's it.

OR if you, like many, purchased an embroidery kit in 2020 and haven't gotten around to it yet...that will be perfect. ;) I see you.

Another option is to buy all of the materials you need in this handy bundle that Maydel set up for us. The cost of the bundle is $13. Maydel is an ethically-sourced, women-owned business and I am a big fan. Here's the link https://maydel.com/product/intro-to-embroidery-bundle-by-badass-cross-stitch/

As always, my workshops are pay-what-you-can to keep them accessible to as many people as possible.

I can't wait to stitch with you!!!!
