Hand-embroidered Canvas Sneakers

Students will practice a variety of techniques before stitching on your shoes.

**Pre-wash shoes or wear them in for easier stitching. (prior to class)
+This class is for students who would like to learn how to embroidery by hand and then transfer their skills to canvas shoes.  It is very fun to convert a plain or older shoe into something really fun!
