Discover the peaceful rhythm of hand embroidery as you stitch a blooming garden full of colour and texture. This beginner-friendly workshop celebrates creativity, mindfulness, and cultural artistry.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll learn six essential embroidery stitches and apply them to a floral garden design. You’ll gain confidence, meet like-minded creatives, and enjoy plenty of encouragement along the way.
✨ What You’ll Learn in the Stitched Garden Embroidery Class
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to:
- Transfer a design to fabric with ease
- Use six foundational embroidery stitches (including stem stitch, lazy daisy, satin stitch, French knots, straight stitch, and fly stitch)
- Choose the right threads, needles, and hoops for your project
- Build texture and dimension in your embroidery
