Chainstitching Workshops

Learn how to embellish your own clothes with the art of hand chainstitching! This is where I started my embroidery journey before purchasing my first chainstitch machine. It’s a fun way to begin dipping your toes into the world of embroidery!

Whether you're a beginner just eager to learn something new, an experienced hand sewer looking to hone your skills, or you’re dreaming of owning your own chainstitch machine one day, this workshop is perfect for you!

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming workshops held at The Umbrella! If you would like me to host a workshop at your business, please connect with me via email!

Jess is a Chicago gem! Her teaching style is gentle and knowledgable - a match made in embroidery heaven! You will leave her workshop feeling at ease knowing you can harness your new skills with confidence.
Was nervous at first but you made it very welcoming for all skill levels!
This workshop was so fun! Not only did we learn some fun stitches, but we left with all of the tools to customize our clothes at home. New winter craft addiction unlocked for sure. Can’t wait for future workshops :)
It was a wonderful chance to learn something fun and interesting with a great teacher!
Jess’s instructions were simple to follow, presented in a fun way, and kept all the participants involved throughout the workshop. I learned so much, despite having basic embroidery skills under my belt already.
It was so fun to learn a new skill! I loved the handout and the goodiebag. Amazing Time!
I have to tell you how much I loved your class! It was so fun to learn a new skill in a casual and friendly environment. I still practice and make silly treasures for my family. It’s also the best baby gift I’ve discovered - everyone loves chainstitched bibs!
