EmbroiderMe!™ Bracelet Basics and Beyond

Jen from Funk and Weber e-mailed me last night to let me know that registration is now open for her FABULOUS bracelet class.  Here's the info, this is a MUST class to pick up for the summer ~ so fun! 

Get your needlework off the wall and into your life! Stitch a fabulous, fully-customized bracelet. Four lessons will guide you step-by-step from start to finish. Download instructions and diagrams (Adobe Acrobat Reader required), then participate in group discussions and ask questions in our private Yahoo Group. Basic knowledge of needlework techniques required: beginning and ending threads, reading a diagram, etc.





Once you've learned the bracelet basics, you can alter the decorative stitch, change fabrics and fibers, and add beads and charms to create an infinite number of one-of-a-kind, perfectly sized bracelets.

Choose your own materials or purchase a kit

Our class pattern uses any 28-ct. linen or evenweave fabric, or 14-ct. Aida, and #8 pearl cotton. Seed beads, accent beads, and clasps complete the bracelets. Choose your favorite fabrics and fibers, or order a complete kit.


Kits contain 28-ct. Blueberry Meran from Zweigart® and DMC #8 Pearl cotton in red, green, yellow, and purple, along with a findings pack with all the necessary beading supplies.
