Whitney Dirks
Have you dropped lunch on your blouse? Did moths discover your favorite wool sweater? Turn that tragedy into a fashion statement! Use colorful patches and hand embroidery techniques to rejuvenate (or simply personalize!) any item in your wardrobe. Appropriate for students who feel comfortable with basic hand sewing (like replacing buttons), counted cross stitch, or embroidery.
A $5 materials fee is due to the instructor at the start of class and covers all supplies needed for this class.
