Slow Stitch Tapestry with Kitty Savel

Slow stitching is the process of adding decoration to fabric through the use of applique, embellishments and simple embroidery stitches. Like a hand-sewn fabric collage! In this slow stitching class, you will create an 8”X 8” wall hanging complete with backing and hanging loops. The finished wall hanging includes a whimsical hanger. The student will learn how to choose fabric and cut appliques to hand stitch onto a base fabric utilizing several different embroidery stitches. This class is all hand sewing, making it a relaxing, enjoyable community activity. You will leave this class with a new portable textile skill using upcycled fabrics, embellishments, and backing a small piece of fabric! Come learn the beautiful things your hands can make!
