We will practice simple hand sewing and embroidery techniques that are perfect for makers of all skill levels. Whether you are at the beginning of your sewing journey, or have been sewing for years and would like to spruce up your tools- this is the workshop for you! Each student will bring home one needle book ready to use, as well as confidence in their design, sewing, and embroidery skills.
