Jack-o’-Stitch: Pumpkin Applique & Beading Workshop

Looking for a fun way to get together with friends this fall?

Grab your besties and head to Sunset Commons for a cozy, creative morning that’s all about pumpkins, stitches, and plenty of laughs.

We’ll guide you step by step through making a pumpkin applique and beading wall art piece—no sewing experience required. Think of it as pumpkin carving’s less-messy, more sparkly cousin.

Whether you’re celebrating spooky season, planning a crafty hangout, or just want an excuse to spend time together, you’ll leave with matching memories and a handmade keepsake you’ll actually want to keep.

Here’s what’s included:

• All supplies provided: fabric, beads, hoop, and everything you need.
• Totally beginner-friendly: our artist instructor will guide you through every step.
• Pumpkin perfection: a sparkly seasonal piece to hang, gift, or show off.
• The best part: time spent laughing and creating with your friends.

This is the fall activity you’ll be talking about long after the last pumpkin spice latte is gone.

About Sunset Commons:

Carmen and Steven started Sunset Commons to provide a space to connect and build community through arts and craft activities led by talented local artists. Inspired by a love for creativity and a desire to foster connection in the Sunset District, we envisioned a “third space” where neighbors can gather, unwind, and form meaningful relationships. Our mission is to empower self-expression, boost confidence, and offer an inclusive haven for everyone, from introverts seeking a calm environment to those enjoying health-focused traditional teas. Sunset Commons is not just a business - it’s our way of enriching the community we love and to the city we both grew up in.
