Whimsical Stitching: Personalize It

  • Bluff Strokes Art Center 1201 Locust Street Dubuque, IA, 52001 United States (map)

December 6
1-4pm

Instructor: Candace Eudaley-Loebach
Ages: 14+
Level: Beginner (Knowledge of a running stitch and confidence with a needle and thread are required for this class)
$35

Add a name, initials or a basic image to a garment you already own and love! OR personalize a gift just in time for the holidays! Add a name to a sweatshirt, some flowers to a knitted hat or gloves, or personalize a set of cloth napkins! The options are endless when you know a few basic stitches! We'll focus our stitch learning on the stem, chain, satin and couched rose stitches to customize and embellish an item.

We'll spend the first hour completing a small sample of these new stitches. The next two hours will be spent using these stitches to personalize an item of your choosing!

Knowledge of a running stitch and confidence with a needle and thread are required for this class.

Bring your own item to embellish. If you are working with a heavy duty fabric, please bring a thimble.

Embroidery hoops, needles, threaders, floss, and fabric stabilizer will be provided. Feel free to bring your own if you have these supplies.
