In this beginner-friendly class, Blair shows you how to transform a simple piece of gingham fabric into a charming, hand-embroidered accessory using classic chicken scratch stitching. You’ll learn her favorite tips for choosing colors, placement of the motif, and ways to change up and vary the pattern.
