Nap Time Hoops-Embroider a sleepy kitty (or puppy)

taught by Marcie Brozyna

Drawing inspiration from the classic railway sleepy kitty “Chessie,” participants in this beginner-friendly class will embroider a customized sleepy kitten or puppy design of their choosing. You’ll learn four classic stitches while embroidering your pre-stamped image.

With your instructor’s guidance you’ll learn:

Foundational embroidery stitches you can use again and again
How to decipher and follow embroidery pattern directions
Practical tips, troubleshooting methods, and techniques for finishing the back of your project

All supplies are included:

– 6” bamboo embroidery hoop

– Needles + floss

– Needle threader and felt needle case

– High quality cotton or cotton/linen blend fabric pre-stamped with the instructor’s hand drawn design

– Illustrations and written instructions for the pattern and its stitches

By the end of class, you’ll have a completed (or nearly completed) work of art and the confidence to help you tackle future projects.

*When signing up please indicate whether you would like a cat or dog pattern and make note of your preferred coloring for the animal. For cats, note your preference between short or long hair, and for dogs please tell us the (approximate) breed.
