St. Petersburg Chain stitch can be used for something as simple as a bracelet, but can also be stitched together for a wider look or made into long chains. This intricate stitch uses two sizes of seed beads. Participants will finish at least one small bracelet during this time. We can discuss further uses and plans for their pieces on an individual basis once participants have the stitch down. This is a stitch Jenny often uses to edge her larger weavings or uses in conjunction with other beadwork and weaving techniques.
