The process

Cross stitch is one of those crafts that looks intricate but feels surprisingly meditative once you get going. In this workshop, you'll choose your floss colors, learn how to follow a simple pattern, and build up your design row by row on aida fabric stretched in an embroidery hoop.

There's something deeply satisfying about watching a flat grid of fabric slowly turn into a little picture. No two pieces come out exactly the same โ€” and that's the charm.
