Embroidery: Clothes That Tell Stories

Examine the garment and identify areas where embroidery can enhance, transform, and add personality to the piece.

Create an embroidered design that complements the garment’s shape, cut, and drape, exploring different ways to apply the embroidery.

Experiment with different threads and color combinations, aiming to create a composition that harmonizes with the fabric and the garment itself.

Techniques Covered:

Exploration of 3 different embroidery stitches.

Final Project:

Customize a shirt through embroidery, with the option to embellish the collar, front, pocket, or cuffs.

Materials Needed

Each participant should bring a plain shirt in a light color or denim. It can be a shirt you already have at home, one purchased at a thrift store, or a new shirt—the important thing is to give free rein to your creativity and breathe new life into the garment.

Thread, embroidery hoops, and needles are included in the workshop fee.
