Description

In this 2,5 hour session you will learn easy ways to embroider on your knitwear. You can bring your own knitted clothes (sweater, scarfs, gloves, socks, sweaters, etc.) We will have a table full with different thicknesses of threads and yarn to work with. So we can always find a fun match with your outfit.

On the pictures you see little embroidered flowers but you can also easily pimp an outfit with giant letters.
