Embroidery is a fun, social activity that is easy to pick up and hard to put down. Join us for a hands-on embroidery workshop where creativity meets community! Whether you're a complete beginner or have some stitching experience, this workshop is designed to get you started on a fall-themed project idea—perfect for adding a festive touch to your home or creating a heartfelt handmade gift.

Beginners will learn essential stitches such as the running stitch, backstitch, satin stitch, and French knot. Returning students can explore more advanced stitches and designs as well as pick up helpful tips on thread, fabric selection, image transfer, and finishing techniques. Encourage your friends and family to try it out with you for the evening.
