This class is beginner-friendly; no experience necessary! Choose a t-shirt, (light fabric) tote bag, or similar item of clothing from your closet and get ready to stitch!
Suggested supplies:
- Embroidery needle
- Embroidery floss
- Embroidery hoop
- Woven fabric t-shirt or tote bag (including an extra piece of scrap fabric to practice stitches on first)

Neither is an option for you? Look around your home for your true DIY-ad-hoc-emergency-embroidery-kit. Maybe you have a sewing kit from your last hotel stay? You can start with a needle, thread, and pretty much any piece of (woven) fabric. These might not be the ideal supplies, but enough to participate to get those creative juices flowing.
And this is how a WebJam works:
After you purchase your ticket, you will receive an email with a custom URL link to join. You will be able to add the event to your calendar. Reminder emails will be sent 2 hour and 45 minutes prior to the start. Make sure to login a few minutes before the WebJam starts to avoid technical difficulties that may delay you.
You have the option to use video and audio to participate. It’s nice to enable video so we can all see each other's faces and projects! You can virtually raise your hands with questions.
School Notes:
We are BYOB friendly! Crafting is paired best with your favorite drink of choice! But, you must be 21 or over. Younger? Just have a mocktail. No one will notice ;)
