Embroidered Footstool Workshop

June 4, 2025 - June 6, 2025

R580.00

Make a Statement - Stitch Your Own Trendy Tuffet!

There’s something special about creating a piece that’s not only stunning, but also useful. Imagine a beautiful, embroidered footstool – something that turns heads in your lounge and starts conversations. Now imagine saying, “I made that.”

In a morning workshop, you’ll begin that journey. Using your own embroidery machine and chosen upholstery fabric, you’ll stitch two of six detailed panels in class. The design is both elegant and trendy – just the right mix of charm and boldness to suit any living space.

What's in Store...

Wednesday, 4 June
9am – 1pm

We’ll guide you through embroidering the first two of six panels in class. You’ll then finish the remaining four at home, following your own pace. The design is included, and it’s eye-catching—perfect for giving your home a modern, handmade touch.

Thursday, 5 June

Continue embroidering the rest of your panels at home.

Friday, 6 June
9am – 1pm

We’ll meet again to show you how the stool is constructed. You’ll receive step-by-step instructions if you’d like to assemble it yourself later – or, if you prefer, we’ll professionally construct your tuffet for you at an optional cost of R750.

By the end, you’ll walk away with not just embroidery practice, but the know-how to create something that turns heads.
