This 2-hour class is an avenue for creation and community, through lenses of DIY application and self care. Using your included embroidery supply kit and zine, you’ll learn the fundamentals of embroidery which will set the foundation for any needlework project. Explore different kinds of merch, such as embroidered hats, t-shirts, flyers, and patches. Students will create an embroidered piece for themselves or to share with their community.

Information about the supply kits: The kit includes a 4 inch wooden hoop, nine different colors of floss, foldable portable scissors, self-threading and regular embroidery needles, an 11” x 12” piece of fabric, and a physical copy of the Basic Embroidery for DIY Merch zine. This comes in a small and portable zipper pouch. Embroidery kit orders are final sale.
