Description

Let's hang out and stitch! Don't know how? I'll teach you. Hey Friends, Let's stitch together! I'm coming to Minneapolis. Join me on July 31st from 2-4pm at RETHINK Tailoring and Sewing Lounge. Bring your stitching materials or purchase them at RETHINK. We will talk craftivism, art, community building, work on our projects, and get to know each other. If you have never stitched before you should definitely come and I'll teach you how! xo Shannon www.Patreon.com/BadassCrossStitch Shopping List: This is a BYOSupplies sort of party so you should bring whatever you usually use to create/craft or you can buy them at RETHINK before the event! For folks who are new to fiber art, here is what I suggest you bring: A 6 inch embroidery hoopA 13 inch by 13 inch piece of white or light colored fabric (cotton, calico cotton, tight weave linen are all good choices)A WATER soluble marking pen (not air soluble...it will disappear too fast)Size 22 tapestry needlesA selection of embroidery flossScissorsOn the “Tutorials” section on my website are 3 short videos that I made to help new stitchers learn to stitch. You might want to watch them before we get together. It will shorten your learning curve. Shannon Downey is an artist, activist, craftivist, community builder, and general instigator.
