Exploring Slow Stitching And Intuitive Embroidery
We will be learning and exploring a variety of embroidery stitches and sewing techniques that will be incorporated into a stitch journal celebrating the Summer Solstice. Stitching is a wonderful way to set intentions, hold heart space, and create a visual dialog that expresses what can’t always be expressed with words. You also have the option of creating a series of pouches instead of a stitch journal. We will have a gentle schedule so everyone will have the option to take some quiet time away to walk, think or go swimming.
Materials Fee - $10(washable fabric glue stick & needles )payable to the instructor( if you need them)
You can purchase a creative bundle for $85 that will include fabric and thread to create a stitch journal or pouches. Please Contact me prior to ArtStays. (contact info below)
