Kseniia Guseva, also known as @faimyxstitch, firmly believes that embroidery makes everything better, from that empty wall in your apartment to the sneakers you’re wearing right now. By combining upcycling and embroidery, she gives a new and more fun life to old clothes by stitching patterns on them, especially ones that depict some of her favorite cities around the world.
In this course, Kseniia teaches you basic embroidery techniques to upcycle your clothes or sneakers. Learn about materials, transfer, stitches, and how to choose colors. By the end of the course, you will be able to embroider on any kind of garment.
