TCS Two Year Anniversary
This month marks two years since Third Coast opened our doors!

Following the classes we will host a pop-up with Jinny, featuring many of her beautiful classes and stitch guides (and a 15% discount!). Jinny's canvases are unique in that most come with a Stitch Guide, highlighting Jinny's talent for planning and teaching decorative stitches! For many stitchers, Stich Guides are intimidating and tricky especially if you haven't worked through one before. We've felt this way for years, but after taking a class with Jinny, we're confident that Jinny can guide you...
