About
**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.**
Whether you’re sewing a hem, setting in a sleeve, or fixing a torn pocket, we all need to know how to do a little basic hand sewing. But why settle for basic when you can be extraordinary? Hand stitching can do more than just hold fabric together… it can dress up your seams, add visible stitches to your work, and add an extra WOW factor to any finished projects.
We have assembled 7 of the most common stitches used in hand stitching that will really up your game. These techniques are all 100% functional but also add an element of elegance and polish to your finished projects and give your off-the-rack wardrobe just a little special touch.
Supplies: Please have hand-sewing thread (Shibaguyz recommend: Aurifil 50 wt), embroidery thread, needles, and fabric swatches on hand to practice these stitches.
