and embellish your own embroidered insect. Choose from a moth, butterfly,
or dragonfly, to wear in your hair or on your clothing. This beginner-friendly
class blends textile art with a touch of whimsy, resulting in a one-of-a-kind
accessory you’ll be proud to show off. Whether you love bold colors, delicate
details, or imaginative design, this workshop offers a fun and approachable
way to explore embroidery.
Using paper patterns, fabric, needle, thread, and a variety of embellishments,
you’ll create a decorative barrette or pin from start to finish. You’ll begin by
designing your insect, then move into cutting, stitching, and assembling
your piece into a wearable accessory. By the end of the workshop,
you’ll leave with a finished creation and the skills to continue
embellishing your own designs.
You'll learn:
Design and layout strategies for small-scale textile pieces
How to thread a needle and execute four basic embroidery stitches
Techniques for assembling and finishing pins and barrettes
Tips for adding decorative details and personal flair
