Succulent Cross Stitch Workshop

Step into the world of embroidery with a cross stitch class that turns tiny threads into delightful art you can proudly display! In this beginner-friendly Brooklyn workshop, you’ll learn how to cross stitch while completing an adorable mini plant or coffee mug pattern designed by The Stitch Mill, an independent New York state pattern creator. You’ll gain hands-on experience with cross stitch basics, from reading a pattern chart and selecting the right supplies to completing the stitches and techniques that bring your design to life. As you work, you’ll follow your chart step by step, creating a tiny plant or coffee mug in a 3-inch hoop that’s perfect for hanging or gifting. Along the way, you’ll also learn how to “frame” your finished piece, giving your handmade creation a polished, display-ready look. This stitching class is the perfect way to unwind, explore craft activities, and enjoy one of the most fun things to do in Brooklyn, whether you’re looking for a creative hobby or a mindful way to spend a few hours. By the end, you’ll leave with more than just a finished project -- you’ll have the confidence and know-how to try new cross stitch projects and expand your stitching skills, making this class a truly hands-on introduction to the joys of needlework!This class will cover:

• How to read and work from cross stitch pattern chart
