This course will guide you from the simple straight stitch through more advanced embroidery stitches. Over four weeks we will gather together to work on creating a Christmas/Wintery ornament, incorporating the stitches from class.
Ideal for those who have some simple experience with hand sewing, but all skill levels are welcome. The small class size will make it possible to teach absolute beginners alongside more advanced stitchers.
Materials will be provided.
Mondays, Nov. 24 to Dec. 15 (4 weeks)

Dana-Lynn Farrell has been sewing since childhood, beginning with creating dresses for her Barbie dolls with the help of her grandmother and learning how to read a sewing pattern from her aunt. Passionate about creating costumes, she often wore her creations on stage in musicals and operas, eventually doing cosplay as well.
In her twenties, Dana-Lynn began working as a seamstress full time, accepting a job at lululemon in Halifax doing repairs and alterations, and opening a small studio for her own clients, doing repairs, alterations and custom pieces.
In 2020 she made masks of various sizes to accommodate beards, large chins, small chins and a special kind of mask for singers. Though she no longer works as a seamstress, she continues to enjoy sewing as a hobby, occasionally making pieces for friends and family.
