🌼 About the Hand Embroidery Workshop for Beginners
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.

Whether you’re completely new to needlework or simply want to refresh your skills, you’ll feel right at home in our welcoming studio.
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
- Know how to finish and display your stitched garden with pride
Depending on your pace, you may not complete your stitched garden during the studio session—but you’ll leave with all the skills, materials, and guidance needed to finish it beautifully at home.
