Watercolor Embroidery w/ Erin

With just a few basic embroidery stitches and watercolor paint, you can create a unique work of art. Using watercolors, we will paint a landscape and then stitch! Learn 5 stitches to embellish your work and practice your skills! 

We’ll explore painting ideas and learn how to make the blanket stitch, couching, feather and fly stitch, and the woven filling stitch. Once you have painted on your fabric, you will make a plan for your stitches.

This class is a fun one-time activity to do with a friend or family member, or on your own. You’ll learn everything you need in one class and go home with a finished or nearly finished project.

Ages 18+
