The Language of Stitches
Learn new stitches and their histories
Kids will learn embroidery stitches and expand their stitch language while learning about the cultural history of the stitches. They’ll start with more basic stitches and then challenge themselves with more challenging stitches. They’ll also create a stitch sampler that shows what they learned.
