Hand Stitching Round Robin: Sashiko + Embroidery + Cross Stitch
Immerse yourself in the art of stitching with our exciting Hand Stitching Round Robin featuring three 45-minute rotations including: Sashiko, Embroidery, and Cross Stitch.
In Rotation 1: Sashiko, discover the rich history behind this traditional Japanese craft while creating your own mini panel. Through the use of simple running stitches and interlocking geometric patterns, you'll explore the creative possibilities of Sashiko and learn how to incorporate it into your stitching projects.
In the Embroidery rotation, you'll delve into the world of hand embroidery, mastering essential stitches like the Backstitch, Chain Stitch, Satin Stitch, and French Knots. These skills will allow you to embellish quilts, clothing, and home textiles, as well as follow embroidery patterns and create personalized quilt labels.
In the Cross Stitch rotation, you'll embark on a journey to master the art of counted cross stitch. Learn how to read patterns, start your stitching correctly, and acquire the necessary tools for a smooth and frustration-free experience. With a focus on backstitch, cross-stitch, and half-stitch techniques, you'll begin working on a small cross-stitch pattern, providing you with a delightful project to continue at home.
Join us in these rotations to expand your stitching repertoire and uncover the joy of creating beautiful textile art.
