Event Overview

Let's just admit it...December is insane. The best therapy for Holiday madness? Wine, a group of cool people + MAKING something cool with your hands that you can then turn into a Holiday gift so you feel super productive!

Be one of those cool people. We'll drink wine and you will make a unique ornament for yourself or someone on your list.

Cross Stitch is an easy-to-learn, counted-thread embroidery technique. I will teach you everything you need to know to start creating impressive works of thread-based genius.

By the end of the class you will have completed your first cross stitch marvel.

There will also be wine for reasons stated above.

I will have all the supplies, teach you everything you need to know and you will start making within minutes! So let's do this. Nothing says love like a cross stitch ornament.

What to Bring

Nothing

Minimum age

All ages welcome

What's Provided

You will get one of the special ornament bases that I have invented (as seen on etsy), floss/thread, needle, pattern, ribbon for hanging and wine!
