Description
Love to cross-stitch but wish you could get your designs out of the frame and into the real world? This class will teach you how to add cross-stitch patterns to any fabric using waste canvas. We’ll work with a repeating motif designed by tatreez artist Elian Aboudi, but you can apply the same techniques using any counted cross-stitch or needlepoint pattern.
Students are invited and encouraged to bring their own item to decorate with cross-stitch. Class fee includes all needed supplies, including needles, basting thread, three colors of DMC floss and a sheet of Zweigart natural cotton waste canvas.
100% of the pattern proceeds from this class will be donated to Heal Palestine.
