Learn Embroidery with Cal Patch
5 Feb
Join us Saturday, February 13th, from 10:30-12:30, to learn the basics of embroidery with our special guest instructor, the lovely and multi-talented Cal Patch. Cal will teach you a bunch of beginning stitches, and then you’ll get to practice your new skills on an original Valentine’s Day pattern created by Cal.
The cost of this class is $40, plus a $5 materials fee. To reserve your spot, give us a call at 845-481-0149 or stop by the shop, at 149 Main Street in Beacon.
Cal Patch has been a maker since she was a Girl Scout in the seventies. She sews, crochets, spins, embroiders, knits, prints, makes patterns, dyes… hence the name of her label: hodge podge. Cal has taught all of these subjects for the past ten years, and loves showing people new skills. After seventeen years of being a New York City dweller, Cal recently relocated to the Catskills where she plans to be a crafty farmer. Her first book, Design-It-Yourself Clothes: Patternmaking Simplified, is out now from Potter Craft. You can see what she’s up to at hodgepodgefarm.net.
