Beginner Introduction to the Art of Embroidery- A Project-Based Class

Once a week for 6-weeks, we will come together for an hour to learn 12 basic embroidery stitches and work on creating and making our own embroidery piece. No experience is required, only a desire to learn and to create. After the 6- weeks, students will walk away having a profound understanding of how to successfully create and execute an array of embroidery projects themselves. 

A week-by-week break down:

Week 1: We will discuss all the tools needed and how they are used. Once we have put together our fabric and embroidery loop, we will draw out each stitch that we will create throughout the course and talk about them. Then we will begin the first 2 stitches.

Week 2: For this week, we will continue with our learning of new stitches. This week we will work on 4 more for our hour together.

Week 3: We will add 4 more new stitches to our embroidery sample. We will also start to do some brainstorming of what our final embroidery projects will be. 

Week 4: We will learn and talk about our final 2 stitches in our series of 12 and discuss all the stitches we have learned over the 4 weeks. This week we will begin to draw out our ideas for our final embroidery project. This is a good time to bounce ideas of one another.

Week 5: We will apply our patterns to our fabric and begin our projects.

Week 6: For our last class together, we will continue to work on and finish our embroidery projects. This is also a great time for any last-minute questions about embroidery and about our projects.
