Do you have a great sweater in your closet that's just a little plain? Now's the time to make it special. Bring your pullovers and cardigans and learn some big embroidery techniques to infuse new life into your garments. This class is designed for those who know how to embroider, those who learned to embroider once upon a time and those who haven't yet learned to embroider. Your instructor will provide basic instruction in a few of her favorite, easy-to-learn embroidery stitches. Each session will begin with one specific stitch, with practice time to follow. Some crewel wool and tapestry yarn will be provided for practicing. If you are particular about colors, please bring your own. Yarn needles provided. Please note: no class 10/11.
