This class will take place in the Tashiro Kaplan building in Pioneer Square. Please make sure you're not heading to our retail shop. This is a different location. If you google Ugly Baby Workshop Space, it will give you the address of our studio - which is in the same building - but is not the most convenient door for you to enter from.

Recent reviews of Embroidery Class: Upcycle Your Clothing

  • 5/5 from Amy Hirtzel, attended Oct 2026: Melissa made embroidering simple, fun and very approachable. She is very patient and encouraging (and makes excellent cookies!). Materials were all provided - lots of interesting sizes and patterns for the embroidery, and tons of colors to choose from. I left with tips to keep my floss untangled and learned 5 different stitches. It was a fun afternoon and I was able to finish my project at home with ease!
  • 5/5 from Brenna Johnson, attended Oct 2026: Lovely class, I feel fulfilled and now addicted to embroidery, just needed a little push!
  • 5/5 from Felipe Winsberg, attended May 2025: So fun and learned so much!
  • 5/5 from Sam Clark, attended Jun 2024: This class was a dream! Our teacher Melissa was a true expert who gave us invaluable advice and tips throughout. It had a calm vibe, where we just hung out and did embroidery together, while learning new stitches. Highly recommend- I'll be back for sure!
