In this workshop, you’ll learn how to revive and personalize your garments using simple, approachable hand embroidery. The focus is on slow, meditative stitching — taking time to work with your hands and enjoy the process of making something beautiful.

No sewing experience is required. If you can thread a needle, you can do this.

Who this workshop is for

  • Beginners — no prior embroidery or sewing experience needed
  • Anyone interested in slow, mindful handwork
  • Those who enjoy working thoughtfully and making beautiful, functional things
  • Makers looking to refresh garments with care and intention

What to bring
