Let’s Have a Party!

I would love to come and help you celebrate (for any reason – or no reason. Parties are awesome!) with stitching or dance. Whether you’re a grown up or hosting for kids, we can find something to have fun with!

The following formats I have already created, but if you have different ideas I’ll be happy to work with you to create a day of fun and creativity that you’ll remember for years!

Embroidery or dance parties are a great way to spend an afternoon or morning with friends and family. You get to learn a new skill, with individual instruction from an enthusiastic teacher, and spend time with people you like! What more can you ask for?

These party packages can be structured for almost any occasion, from all-girls nights to kids’ birthdays, to adult birthdays! I cannot book for all-male occasions, but mixed groups are welcome.

With the exception of the Stash Enhancement Party, which is free to organize, costs are $20.00 per attendee, with a minimum of 5.  There may be additional costs for optional I need to know the total number of people attending at least 2 weeks in advance (for kits!).

What you’ll need to provide:

  • Between 5 and 10 party-goers
  • A room large enough to seat everyone
  • 50% deposit paid on booking
  • Design for embroidery classes ordered at least 7 days before the party

Bellydance Workshop Party

Let’s dance the day away! This is an expansion of the basic Shimmygram. Not only do you get the performance, but you can learn the basics of this fun dance form.

Includes:

  • A special hip scarf for the guest of honor
  • 10 minute performance by Romalie
  • 1 hour class
  • Optional hip scarves for all participants ($10.00 each)

Beginning Cross Stitch Party

Learn to cross stitch in a friendly environment. Basic cross stitch techniques are covered, with lots of extra help when it’s needed.

Includes:

  • A small kit including all the materials needed to make a small cross stitch card by Golden Circle Designs (additional $5.00 per person for the kit)
  • Practice fabric and thread (practice makes perfect after all!)
  • Approximately 1-2 hours of friendly tuition.
  • A complimentary (different) kit as a thank-you for the host.
  • The opportunity to purchase additional kits, designs and extra supplies which will be sent to you later. (Adults only, please! For kid’s parties, online catalog information will be provided for parents.)

Beginning Embroidery Party

We’ll learn three basic stitches – Stem stitch, Back stitch and Chain stitch: enough to decorate almost anything. Entire quilts have been embroidered in stem stitch in red or blue (redwork and bluework), so these three stitches are a very good place to start.

Includes:

  • A small kit including all the materials needed to make a small embroidery project by Golden Circle Designs (additional $5.00 per person for the kit)
  • Practice fabric and thread (practice makes perfect after all!)
  • Approximately 1-2 hours of friendly instruction.
  • An extra (different) kit as a thank-you for the host.
  • The opportunity to purchase additional kits, designs and extra supplies.

Intermediate Embroidery Party (Kids or Adults)

If your group already knows the embroidery basics, why not take it a step further and learn something special? You can learn additional stitches, or take on a new type of embroidery altogether! Want to learn stumpwork, goldwork or pulled thread? This is a custom party – so we’ll need to work together to choose a project that your group will enjoy.

Includes:

  • A small kit including all the materials needed to make a small embroidery project by Golden Circle Designs (additional $10.00 per person for the kit).
  • Practice fabric and thread (practice makes perfect after all!).
  • Approximately 1-4 hours of friendly instruction (longer classes may increase the price of the party).
  • An extra (different) kit as a thank-you for the host.
  • The opportunity to purchase additional kits, designs and extra supplies.
