  • $25.00

The deets

Saturday September 27th from 12-2pm 

Join us for a beginner’s workshop where you will learn all the basics of cross stitch! We will chat a bit about the differences between cross stitch and other needle crafts, how to read and use a cross stitch chart, the basic techniques of cross stitching and ways in which to finish your completed project!

Workshop attendees can bring their own design and supplies if they aren't interested in the ghost. The techniques taught in the workshop will be the same regardless of design!

Who this workshop is for:

This class is for anyone who wants to embrace a grandmacore hobby and although this is a class is beginner friendly, we are happy to have stitchers of all skill levels join!

What to expect:

  • the ghost design in the photo is the design that will be taught in the workshop
  • $25 fee includes all materials; chart, instructions, thread, needle, Aida cloth and hoop
  • attendees will walk away with an understanding of cross stitch basics
  • folks can bring their creation home on the same day, although some may not complete the project in-class and will be able to use the skills they learned to complete the design at home

“My grandmother taught me how to do needlework, including cross stitch and hand sewing, when I was younger. I had stitched a few projects beforehand, but really fell hard into cross stitch in 2020 and somehow always make time for it or needlepoint since. My house has hidden gems of projects hidden in many corners and I love passing on my love of this age old craft to others!”
