"Embroidered Tree Pillow" Workshop

Workshop "Embroidered Tree Pillow"

Our "Embroidery Tree Pillow" workshop, a Wendy Williams Pattern,  is great for the confident beginner hand stitcher who also has basic sewing skills to construct the pillow.

You will trace and transfer your pattern onto fabric. If you are new to this thats ok, we are here to teach you how easy it is! You have the use of most of our Perle 8's and Stranded Flosses during class. Barb will send you home each week with bobbins of colours for your use in your homework. The last class will be spent sewing your pillow together and stuffing. This is a wonderful workshop to learn not to stress over precision while hand stitching and being more organic with your embroideries.

Please Note: This is a 6 week class. If you are not finished the pillow embroideries you are encouraged to be a part of our Stitch Days each Monday. We charge $10 for an extra class for the construction of the pillow.
