The process

Cross stitch is one of those crafts that looks intricate but feels surprisingly meditative once you get going. In this workshop, you'll choose your floss colors, learn how to follow a simple pattern, and stitch an adorable bookmark row by row on aida fabric stretched in an embroidery hoop.

Cross stitch isn't a quick craft. We'll teach you everything you need to know, but you may need to continue working on your bookmark at home after the session to complete it. Don't worry — we'll send you home with everything you need.
