😊 It is my honor to be able to teach a skill that has been around waaay before I was even thought of. To think once upon a time I was terrified of a sewing machine and sewed everything by hand. Look at me now teaching others to sew. Sewn Stories is a safe and enjoyable space to sew, embroider with , and write a small note, phrase, or poem for you or your loved one. In this time of chaos and uncertainty this is a space for you to take your mind off of your troubles and be free and learn to sew and embroider.
•••
🧵 No, you don’t have to know how to sew or embroider for you will learn and walk away after this workshop a little bit more confident and comfortable doing so.

🗓️ We have 2️⃣ more dates available to RSVP for the upcoming Stories Sewn workshop (link in bio) . Looking forward to seeing you there!
