    Camp Verde AZ (March 19, 2019) – Beginning Friday, March 29 @2:00 p Debra Somontes will teach the use of hand embroidery to embellish a t-shirt, bag, jeans, skirt, pillow, and more. Teens and/or their parents interested in creating unique pieces, meet in the Teen Library at Camp Verde Community Library for this hands-on class.

    Master dressmaker, Debra Somontes’ love of stitching began at the young age of five when her grandmother taught her to stitch, sew and crochet. She enjoys sharing her passion for handiwork with others stating, “If you love something, do not let the crazy schedules of life take you away from doing it. Get yourself a handwork bag and take it with you wherever you go. I have found people are fascinated by what you are doing. I also keep a very simple give away project, such as a bookmark, with me. I will teach an interested party in waiting rooms, etc. on the simple project for them to go home and finish. I offer my business card to call me if they get stuck.”

    20190318_DSomontesThe goal of the class is to introduce young people to the art of hand embroidery through the completion of their own clothing embellishment project. Somontes will begin by teaching students the five basic stitches: straight stitch, back stitch, outline stitch, stem stitch, and satin stitch. By the end of the session, participants will:

    1. have a completed or nearly completed a take-home project of clothing embellishment
    2. learn at least 5 basic stitches in the lost art of hand embroidery
    3. have a positive experience in beginners embroidery as applied to clothing embellishment that will hopefully peak a new interest in future needlework arts

    Embroidery supplies such as scissors, thread, needles, hoops, iron-on transfers and ideas will be provided. Class participants need to bring:

    • a piece of clothing, fabric bag, or other item  they wish to embellish
    • pictures or designs to they want to trace onto the item

    One Bullet Away

    There’s a storm cloud coiling over America, and most don’t see it yet. But it’s there. Dark. Imminent. Unavoidable. Call it fate, call it consequence—but don’t call it fiction. The divide is real. And it’s calcifying by the hour.
