Kvetch & Stitch

With Embroidery Babes

Socialize, sip and stitch on a piece of your own clothing! Learn basic hand embroidery skills & techniques at this moms’ night out. The workshop will be taught by Michelle Fleischer, local small business owner of Embroidery Babes.

The workshop will focus on learning the back stitch and stitching X’s. Attendees will be able to draw a design such as a heart with their children’s initials, a name in cursive, etc. and stitch it directly on an item of clothing (bring your own). It’s a great opportunity to upcycle a piece of your or your kid’s clothing into something special and unique! The workshop includes an embroidery kit with all materials needed to practice your embroidery in class and at home. We recommend bringing an item of clothing that is not very elastic such as a sweatshirt or denim as it is easier to stitch for beginners.

To see examples of Michelle’s work and to order, follow her on Instagram (instagram.com/embroidery.babe) and Facebook (facebook.com/embroidery.babes) her website EmbroideryBabes.com or by emailing embroiderybabes@gmail.com. Some of her items will also be displayed for sale at the workshop.
