hey, makers!
do you love design sponge? I bet your answer to this question is Y-E-S. that’s why I’m totally thrilled to be featured on the site today, teaching the color theory coasters from my new book, embroider everything workshop. if you have any interest in or love of embroidery or needlepoint, it’s worth checking out. in the video I show a number of techniques like threading the needle (surprisingly tricky to do with thick tapestry wool!), working the basic continental stitch, how to follow a charted design and finishing steps. of course I teach all of these things plus much more in the make studio, too! the next intro to needlepoint workshop is happening on sun mar 4 at 2pm.
in sewing-related news I’ve added a last-minute zip-o-riffic pillow on sat 1/28 at noon. if you’re interested in making home decor items and want to take your skills to the next level this is the class for you! btw, if you’ve only taken the intro to sewing machine workshop don’t be intimidated by the zipper. I will teach you everything you need to know!
while I’m at it, I should also mention that there are only 2 slots left in the next fashion lab: session 102 (starts tues 2/7 at 630pm). both of our january labs sold out (!), so I’ve added march dates to keep up with the demand (weds 3/14 at 630pm). please let me know if you’re interested in april dates or anything else! I’m happy to add new things to the calendar.
speaking of new things, I’m working on a make kids: intro to sewing machine (ages 7-13) series starting next month, as well as a spring break and summer fashion camp for kids and teens. (wish I wasn’t too old to go!) I’ll send out a newsletter as soon as the curriculum is set and the dates are booked. if you’d like to be contacted I can also add you to a waiting list. just send an email to info@makeworkshop.com and I will be in touch with the dates and times. please also spread the word to any parents or kids that you think might be interested! I really appreciate any help with getting the word out.
last, but not least, we still have room in the mon 1/30 earrings workshop as well as tues 1/31 one-day crochet, along with many other offerings moving forward into february. seriously, where does the time go? as always, we hope to see you in the make studio soon!
