Have you ever longed to wear the beautifully decorated garments you see in period dramas? Do you wish you could add a touch of historic chic to your own closet? Come get inspired by the beautiful pieces in the Filson’s new exhibit, Bustles to Blue Jeans: Highlights from the Filson’s Fashion Archive. Join representatives from the local chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America as they guide you through an embroidery lesson that pulls from the styles of the past. You’ll get to explore the exhibit and learn to recreate some of the most unique embroidery on display. Bring your own clothes or textiles to embroider, or create a sampler using provided fabric. All other materials will be provided. Open to all ages and skill levels.
Thank you for your interest in the Louisville Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America.

We have chapter meetings twice a month (except June and December – see Calendar for specifics). We have a variety of classes available throughout the year for small fees, or you can bring your own project to meetings to stitch and socialize.
