Join Leah from Craft Make Do for a relaxing counted cross stitch workshop in Adelaide, where you'll learn the fundamentals of this creative, calming stitching technique, ready to keep stitching long after the class ends. No experience needed, just show up ready to learn.
This beginner friendly class is perfect if you're after a new hobby, a relaxing outing, or a fun activity to do solo or with a friend.
Over the session, Leah will take you through the materials used in counted cross stitch, how to read a pattern, and how to use an embroidery hoop, before teaching you the basic stitches themselves. Everything is supplied, so there's nothing to remember except yourself.
This workshop is about learning a skill for life, not a race to the finish line, so you won't finish your project within the session itself. Instead, you'll leave with a solid grounding in the basics, the confidence to keep going, and a project you can return to at your own pace, plus a calming new hobby you might just fall in love with.
