PHOTO'S FROM OUR FALL 2009 UP-CYCLE YOUR WARDROBE SERIES: Embroidery for novice stitchers. Look at the amazing work these girl's have done!


The concentration in this class was a wonder to behold!

The Sewing Circle...loving every minute!

Look at the fabulous flowers she embroidered on her blouse!
Learning a skill such as hand embroidery provided a great way to update the girl's jeans, t-shirts, sweaters...anything they loved to wear! We started with technique and stitch styles and moved on to embellishing items from their own wardrobe. Each girl made a fabric embroidery sample of stitches that will serve as a guide for their future projects. The girls also made their very own embroidery transfers that they designed themselves. The series will continue in the Spring 2010 session.
