Hand-Embroidered Sweatshirt craft workshop in Montgomery County, Md.

Grab your favorite sweatshirt and come stitch something fun! This beginner-friendly embroidery workshop with Jess Giblin of Green Moon Baby is all about creativity, self-expression, and adding a little personality to the clothes you already love.

In this class, you’ll customize your own sweatshirt with a design or word of your choice. Designs can be stitched on the chest, sleeve, or collar, and there will be tons of options to choose from. Make a sweatshirt that is completely one-of-a-kind. No embroidery experience needed!

What you’ll learn:

• How to place and transfer designs onto a sweatshirt
• Easy, beginner-friendly embroidery stitches used for lettering and simple designs
• How to finish your piece and keep stitching at home

What you’ll make:

• A one-of-a-kind hand-embroidered sweatshirt designed by you!

IMPORTANT: You will bring your own sweatshirt to embroider. Cotton (or cotton blend) sweatshirts with a fleecy interior work best. Stretchy fabrics are not recommended and can be tricky to stitch.

What’s provided:

• A huge mix of fun designs and words to choose from
• Lots of thread colors to play with
• All embroidery tools including needles, hoops, threaders, needle minders, and scissors
• Step-by-step guidance so you never feel lost
