ABOUT

SEW BOTANICA: AN INTRODUCTION TO NATURE EMBROIDERY

Sat 22 June

11am - 3pm

Andie Reeves is a Cape Town-based teacher and maker, specialising in embroidery, weaving, crochet and sewing. What started as a love for making outfits for her Barbies and watching Project Runway with her mom has developed into a 16-year career of making things, from woven wall hangings to wedding dresses. She hosts workshops at various Cape Town venues as well as a regular Craft Night at The Ladder on Wednesdays.

The Cape Town Craft Club was initiated by Andie as a means to amalgamate her passions: creating, teaching, and fostering community. For her, there's no greater satisfaction than crafting something with your own hands, and she aims to provide everyone who attends her classes with the opportunity to experience that joy.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Join us for a day of slow sewing, learning the basics of embroidery through stitches inspired by nature. We will cover everything from threading a needle correctly to choosing fabric, from selecting the best stitch to transferring designs onto materials such as clothes. After selecting threads and fabric, participants will be guided through beginning their first embroidery project. All materials and patterns are provided and all skill levels are welcome.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:

Threads, hoops, needles, fabric and patterns are all included so you can continue with your new favourite hobby at home.

Fynbos chai tea, a sweet treat and herbed water
