Upcycle and Renew with Botanical Embroidery
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to revive and personalize your garments with easy hand embroidery — no sewing experience required. If you can thread a needle, you can do this!
We’ll be working with water-soluble embroidery patches featuring botanical designs. After selecting and sticking your design onto your clothing, you’ll stitch directly over it. When you're done, the patch dissolves in water, leaving behind your beautiful, custom embroidery.
This technique looks especially striking on denim jackets, jean hems, or pockets.
