Visible Mending Workshop
Details
Ready to swap doomscrolling for doodling with thread? The Visible Mending Workshop at Make at Rosie is your cozy gateway into beginner embroidery, where even the knots gone wrong become part of the charm.
In this hands-on, beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn four core embroidery stitches that unlock a whole world of visible mending and decorative stitching: the trusty back stitch, simple straight stitch, playful lazy daisy, and the always-impressive French knot. By the end, you’ll have a finished sampler you can proudly show off, tuck into a frame, or gift to someone you like a whole lot.
Level: True beginner to curious dabbler—no experience needed, seriously.
Who it’s for: Ages 16 and up, with a special welcome to women, nonbinary folks, and anyone craving a creative, inclusive space.
What you’ll learn: How to stitch clean back stitches, neat straight stitches, cheerful lazy daisies, and tidy French knots, plus tips on using them for visible mending and decorative details.
What’s included: All materials and tools are provided—hoops, fabric, floss, needles, and guidance—so you just bring yourself and a willingness to try.
What you’ll take home: A finished embroidery sampler, new skills, and the confidence to keep stitching at home.
The vibe at Make at Rosie is relaxed, welcoming, and wonderfully low-pressure. Expect friendly instructors who will happily talk you through tangled thread moments, cheer your wonky first stitches, and help you find your own style. Along the way, you’ll meet other makers, swap ideas, and maybe even leave with a few new crafty friends.
If you’ve been wanting to fix up a favorite tee, customize a denim jacket, or just pick up a meditative, screen-free hobby, this workshop is a perfect place to start. It’s affordable, accessible, and built around creativity and community rather than perfection.
Spots are limited to keep things cozy and hands-on, so snag your seat, mark your calendar for May 18th at 6:00 pm, and get ready to start your embroidery journey at Make at Rosie—one back stitch at a time.
