What you'll learn:

• Basic embroidery stitches for creating shapes and text.

• Adding embellishments like beads, buttons, and gemstones.

• Using paint pens for colour and design.

• Ideas for how attach your finished patch to clothing or accessories.

Optional: Bring a jacket, bag, or jeans to attach your patch during the workshop.
