About This Session
Learn how to add expressive chain-stitch embroidery to your favorite hoodie, or any fabric garment in your closet, with designer Sarah Lawrence. In this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll be introduced to three different chain stitch styles, learn how to choose the one that feels most natural to you, and practice stitching on your own hoodie or other apparel. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore and discuss the exhibition THE HOODIE: Identity. Power. Protest. with fellow attendees—connecting craft, design, and cultural storytelling.
What To Expect
- A beginner-friendly introduction to chain stitching where you’ll learn three types of chain stitches and try your hand at them
- A fun and creative environment where you can brainstorm what you want your stitched message or image to be
- Go home with a new skill, a newly upcycled garment, and new pals to share it with
- A chance to see MODA after hours and discuss our latest exhibition–THE HOODIE: Identity. Power. Protest. while you stitch
Whether you're an experienced embroiderer or have never held a needle before, this workshop will inspire you to learn chain stitching and applying your own unique style to a garment. Bring a hoodie or other plain piece of fabric clothing, and MODA will supply all the supplies you’ll need.
