Zhouzh It Up with Embroidery

Service Description

Bring a cotton or linen woven-fabric garment (yes, jeans will work! So will pillowcases–just avoid knit fabric, please) to zhuzh up with embroidery. We’ll cover eight different stitches (running stitch, back stitch, straight stitch, stem stitch, split stitch, chain stitch, French knot, and couching stitch), practicing on a doodle cloth before selecting a design for your garment. This workshop will cover how to thread a needle, discussion of whether or not to use knots in your embroidery, how to transfer designs, and how to hoop your fabric (or not!)

Beverly Army Williams has been smitten with textiles and fiber arts since she was seven. An avid crocheter, knitter, weaver, quilter, and garment maker, she has been embroidering for 18 years. Her early projects used transfers from Sublime Stitching–roller derby girl aprons, French knot poodles onesies, and whimsical chihuahua tea towels. After a class with Cal Patch, Beverly broke free from patterns to embark on numerous long-term embroidery art projects. She has studied with Sarah Pedlow of Thread Written, Claire Wellesley-Smith, Adriana Torres and Ekta Kaul. Beverly has shared her love of embroidery teaching at her local Women on the Way club, and in her Slow Fashion course at Westfield State University. When not stitching, Beverly teaches writing, makes poems, plays with watercolors, and hikes with her husband and two dogs. You can follow her adventures on Instagram at @Beverly_Army13
