Adding a touch of embroidery can turn nearly any plain thing into an art piece or heirloom. You can stitch on clothes, home goods, accessories and other textiles you’ve made yourself, or bought pre-made.

By embellishing on these items, you can make gifts more personal, commemorate events, hide mending or stains, or just give a tired old item a new life.
We will learn 12 different classic embroidery stitches and experiment on a free-form sampler, or a project of your choice. Once you know how, you’ll want to add a touch of stitched decoration to everything you own, make or give.

No prerequisite skills.

Mending is an essential part of maintaining your handmade or Slow-Fashion wardrobe, and patching and darning are your key techniques. Cal will show you 2 different ways to patch a hole in woven garments: Overlay and Reverse Applique, various stitches that work for each method, and when to use them. 

Then we will mend a hole in a knitted garment with traditional darning. Whether you try to do it invisibly or artfully, you’ll extend the life of your favorite woolies by knowing how to darn them. Traditional darning works well for smaller holes or areas that are worn thin. You might have so much fun, you'll actually be happy to see a new hole in your most-loved and worn garments!
