Stitch Cleveland

Summer is almost over and it is time to pick up your sewing again! Many of you have been looking forward to our August Amy Butler event. We are ready to give you the details!

The fun starts on Thursday, August 14th with our Take Along Night! With pre-registration for this event you will get a preview of the Amy Butler trunk show! From 6:30 to 8:30 pm, join us for class. We will be making the Take Along bag from Amy’s new book, Little Stitches for Little Ones. With your purchase of the book, your kit (which includes all supplies to complete this project) is only $10. The kit is $20 if purchased alone. We are only able to fit 8 into our class on Thursday evening, so register quickly!

If that sounds like far too much excitement for your fragile heart, you can join us on Friday, August 15th when we will be celebrating Amy by auctioning off 3 gift packages (handpicked by Amy herself) during our monthly sewing social, I Sew Cleveland. The group meets from 7 - 9pm and all are welcome. Snacks and refreshments will be served while we show and share each other’s Amy Butler inspired sewing projects. 

Now a bit of bad news. We were all looking forward to hosting Amy at Stitch Cleveland on August 15th. With regrets, Amy is unable to attend our event. She has sent a beautiful trunk show for us to share with you and three generous gift packages to raffle off in lieu of her visit.

We have a few other fabulous events in August!

Katherine Shaughnessy of Wool & Hoop will be visiting Stitch Cleveland on August 16th. We are looking forward to welcoming Katherine back to Cleveland! Many of you attended her class last summer and had fun experimenting with crewel. Crewel embroidery is the art of embroidering by hand with wool thread on linen fabric. Wool & Hoop is a line of kits, supplies, and designs by artist Katherine Shaughnessy. Katherine will be teaching us how to crewel from 10am to 2pm. Registration for this great class is $85. Stop in to see a sample of the class project, a beautiful linen pillow with down insert that you will learn to embroider in class! 

If you’d like to practice a little so that you can impress Katherine with your mad crewel skills, stock up on supplies at Stitch Cleveland. We recently began stocking Wool & Hoop iron on designs, wool, and hardwood hoops.   

All of us here at Stitch Cleveland are thrilled to be in our second year as humble stitch servants. Your projects and enthusiasm have kept us inspired and we want to do the same for you!
