Free sewing and embroidery workshops with Teresa Entretejidos

A photograph can serve as a base for embroidery, and careful stitching helps extend the life of clothing. Teresa Entretejidos will teach these techniques at the Fábrica de Muebles de Cañada Real. The sessions are part of the 21 Distritos programme and explore different ways of working with fabrics and images.

The first workshop will focus on alpargatas destalonadas. Participants will learn traditional sewing techniques and make their own pair using a pattern adapted to their size. The following sessions will cover sashiko and photo embroidery, which allows you to add colour, motifs, and details to a photograph using threads and stitches.
