In this advanced beginner level embroidery workshop, we're learning how to turn hand lettering into embroidery with six different stitches specifically chosen for outlining, filling, and embellishing letters.
You'll receive a pre-designed and pre-printed piece of fabric featuring lettering created specifically to practice each technique. No transferring patterns. No drawing perfectly straight guidelines. No wondering what the heck you're supposed to stitch.
We've done that part for you.
Instead, you'll focus on learning how different embroidery stitches behave on letterforms, and how the stitch you choose can completely change the look of a word.
Because once you know how to embroider lettering... You can put words on EVERYTHING.
🤯 Embroider someone's name onto a sweatshirt or denim jacket.
🤯 Add a tiny monogram to a shirt pocket.
🤯 Stitch a favorite quote onto a tote bag.
🤯 Personalize stockings or cloth napkins for the holidays.
🤯 Add names to handmade ornaments.
🤯 Embroider a kid's handwriting onto a gift for their grandparents.
🤯 Stitch a family recipe title onto a tea towel.
🤯 Make personalized patches.
🤯 Turn an inside joke into a hoop for your best friend.
Names. Quotes. Inside jokes. Song lyrics. Tiny swear words. Something extremely sentimental that makes your mom cry.
HELLO, handmade holiday gifts. 🎁
This workshop isn't about everyone making one specific finished project. Instead, you're creating a lettering sampler and learning six foundational techniques that you'll be able to take home and use on clothing, gifts, home decor, accessories, and future embroidery projects.
Please Note: This class is not an Intro to Embroidery class. Basic embroidery skills are required to participate successfully in this class since we are jumping right into stitching and technique. If you want to learn embroidery fundamentals, check out our Intro to Embroidery class or other beginner-friendly embroidery classes before taking this class.
Perfect for:
✍️ Hand-lettering lovers ready to turn lettering into something they can stitch
🎁 Anyone dreaming about handmade and personalized holiday gifts
👕 Makers who want to customize sweatshirts, denim jackets, shirts, hats, bags, and other clothing or accessories
✨ Embroiderers who know a couple stitches but always default to the exact same one
💌 Sentimental gift-givers who know putting someone's name, handwriting, or favorite phrase on something immediately makes it 400% more special
💬 People who have things to say and would apparently like to say them very slowly, one stitch at a time
What You’ll Learn:
We will cover six different embroidery stitches during class while also talking about when to choose each stitch, how many strands of floss to use for different effects, navigating corners and curves, starting and stopping your thread, and how to keep lettering looking smooth and intentional.
Most importantly, we'll talk about how to take these techniques off the sampler and onto actual projects including how to approach lettering on clothing, accessories, home decor, patches, and personalized gifts.
Your workshop includes your pre-designed and pre-printed lettering sampler fabric, an embroidery hoop to take home, a needle, use of our shared embroidery tools, and embroidery floss for your sampler.
The Vibe:
We're giving you six new ways to put words on shit. 🪡✨
You'll leave with a sampler showing six completely different approaches to embroidered lettering, but more importantly, you'll leave looking at every blank sweatshirt, tote bag, tea towel, stocking, jacket, and piece of fabric in your house thinking:
WAIT. I could embroider something on that.
☕️ Make your mom a tea towel with a family saying.
👶 Put your kid's handwriting on a sweatshirt.
👯 Stitch your best friend's favorite unhinged quote onto a makeup bag.
🧦 Make personalized stockings for your family.
🥹 Turn your grandma's handwriting into something you can keep forever.
😈 Or embroider something completely inappropriate onto the collar of an otherwise very respectable shirt.
If you can write it, you can stitch it.
And once you know how?
Good luck looking at plain clothes the same way ever again. 🪡✍️✨
