Workshop Description:
This workshop will focus on my signature style of hand embroidery, combined with patching and appliqué techniques. You will be starting your own version of one of my embroidery templates. There will be a large selection of these templates for you to choose from at the start of the class. Please note, one template of your choice is included in the overall price of this class. You will also be given full use of my embroidery threads and fabric scraps, as well as a printed stitch guide to take home.
At the start of this class, I will show you a selection of my original embroidered samples to inspire you. I will then direct you both as a group and individually to create your own version of one of my signature designs.
The main focus of this workshop is to create a beautiful, one-off stitched memento. I will work with you individually to choose a colour palette that suits you, the maker. You are welome to work with my threads and fabric scraps scraps on the day, but feel free to bring your own threads, fabric scraps, lace, ribbons, buttons, scissors and favourite embroidery needles.
