Upcycle with Botanical Embroidery

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to revive and personalize your garments using simple, approachable hand embroidery. The focus is on slow, meditative stitching — taking time to work with your hands and enjoy the process of making something beautiful.

No sewing experience is required. If you can thread a needle, you can do this.

This workshop is not about perfection—it’s about process.

Who this workshop is for

• Beginners — no prior embroidery or sewing experience needed
• Anyone interested in slow, mindful handwork
• Those who enjoy working thoughtfully and making beautiful, functional things
• Makers looking to refresh garments with care and intention

What to bring

• An article of clothing to embroider on (denim jackets, jeans, twill pants, or skirts work best)
• Small scissors
• Reading glasses (if you use them)

What I will provide

• Embroidery design (pre-printed on water-soluble stabilizer)
• Hand sewing needles and embroidery floss
