SIMPLE STITCHES : ON TOTE BAGS

Good for:

-those who like structure AND dreamers who think outside the box

-learning a craft you can take on the go (DIY on the subway, at a cafe, in the park)

-exploring your aesthetic

Guaranteed offering: you’ll take away 1 hand embroidered tote bag and any materials needed to finish your piece (embroidery thread, needle)

The finer details
Each participant will have their own station to work on design development. Participants will ether draw or trace their designs onto their tote bag with pencil or pen or fill with fabric markers. I will have flash drawings you’re welcome to use, or please bring your own drawings/ideas along! If you like structure: lots of planning can be done, if you like freedom: there is room to be loose and see what happens!

Once our tote bag designs are locked in there will be brief instruction on: setting up fabric in an embroidery hoop, threading a needle, stitching on a line, and stitching/filling in an object. We will spend the rest of our time hand stitching our designs onto our bags, and chatting with our new pals.
