She is beauty. She is grace. She has taken 100 Makeshift workshops and she REALLY likes pierogies. 🥟✨
So far, only one member of the Makeshit Craft Club has crossed the absolutely unhinged milestone of attending 100 Makeshift workshops.
And when you take ONE HUNDRED workshops with us, apparently you start influencing the curriculum.
Inspired by her incredible dedication to Makeshift and her equally impressive dedication to her Polish heritage... we're celebrating International Pierogi Day the only reasonable way we know how:
🇵🇱 By turning pierogies into crafts. 🥟
Welcome to our Choose Your Own Adventure Pierogi Felt Workshop, where we'll provide the supplies, the techniques, and an unreasonable amount of pierogi inspiration. What you actually make with all of it?
That's between you and the dumpling. Don't look at us!
Want to make one big, squishy felt pierogi with an embroidered little face and turn it into a charm for your project bag?
Do it.
Want to make an entire batch of tiny pierogies, hide magnets inside them, and cover your refrigerator in carbs?
Excellent choice.
Want to make a felt pierogi patch, cover it in beads, and embroider something mildly inappropriate underneath it?
NO NOTES.
Make one. Make several. Give them faces. Add beads. Embroider details. Turn them into magnets, patches, charms, or whatever other pierogi-based nonsense your imagination can cook up.
Let your creativity simmer like a little pocket of savory goodness in a crock pot. 🤤
We'll show you the basic techniques you'll need to cut, assemble, stitch, stuff, embellish, and finish your felt pierogies, then we'll turn you loose to create your own weird little Polish dumpling masterpiece.
Perfect for:
🥟 People who have strong opinions about pierogies (Diana)
🇵🇱 Polish makers ready to celebrate one of the world's greatest contributions to carbohydrates (Diana)
🧵 Beginners who want a playful introduction to working with felt and hand embroidery (not Diana. She's been around that block a few times now...)
✨ Experienced makers who hear “table full of felt, beads, embroidery floss, and tiny accessories” and require no further explanation (Diana & Assley)
🧲 Anyone whose refrigerator is suffering from a severe lack of handmade dumplings (Diana)
🎒 People whose project bags could benefit from one enormous smiling pierogi (Diana and Assley)
💎 Maximalists who are already wondering exactly how many beads they can physically attach to a felt dumpling (Diana and Assley)
🎉 Makeshift regulars who understand that eventually EVERYTHING becomes a craft theme around here (all the shitheads. you know who you are.)
What You’ll Learn:
✂️ How to cut and assemble dimensional felt pieces
🪡 Basic hand-stitching and embroidery techniques for assembling and decorating your pierogi
🥟 How to stuff and shape felt to create a dimensional dumpling
✨ Ways to use embroidery, beads, and embellishments to give your pierogi its own personality
🧲 How to incorporate accessories like magnets, patches, or hanging hardware into your finished pieces
🎨 How to take a basic pattern and customize it into something completely your own
💡 Techniques you can use again for future felt ornaments, charms, patches, magnets, plushies, and other tiny ridiculous things
Your workshop includes felt, stuffing, embroidery supplies, access to our shared tools and embellishments, and accessories for turning your creations into magnets, patches, charms, and more.
We'll provide the basic pierogi shapes and bountiful menu of inspiration.
And because we cannot possibly host an International Pierogi Day celebration where the only pierogies are made out of felt...
YES, THERE WILL BE ACTUAL PIEROGIES. 🥟
Craft a pierogi.
Eat a pierogi.
POR QUE NO LOS DOS
The Vibe:
Your Polish grandma's kitchen table, except someone dumped Makeshift's "Private Closet" onto it. 🥟🪡✨
This isn't a follow-the-instructor-and-everyone-makes-the-same-thing kind of workshop.
It's a sit around the table, eat pierogies, dig through craft supplies, make weird little dumplings, and see where the night takes us kind of workshop.
It's also a celebration of one of our favorite things about Makeshift: the people who keep showing up. 🥹🥰🫂
Because somehow one person loving this place enough to take 100 freaking workshops led us all the way here... to an evening dedicated to Polish dumplings made out of felt.
And frankly?
NO NOTES
Come hungry.
Come crafty.
Become a pierogi. 🥟
