Overview
  • Stitch a portrait of your own or someone else's dog for a great gift!  

    I remember looking at Instagram and seeing all those talented artists making amazing pet portraits with thread. I started learning the technique on my own and sharing it on my own Instagram, and soon enough I had people asking me for commissions. 

    In this class we will go over the following:

    • What tools do you will need
    • How to trace your picture and how to transfer it to the fabric
    • How to pick out your colors and what contrasting colors you need
    • Shading techniques useful for portraits of long haired dogs and short haired dogs
    • How to do the details - the eyes, the nose.
