Conclusion
What You Will Learn?
- Have you ever looked at a piece of embroidery art and wondered how on earth it can be achieved with just one humble thread? Have you wanted to try your hand at stitching but found classes with a bunch of different stitches too intimidating? .
- I got you..
- This class explores hand embroidery, a traditional textile art going back thousands of years, presented within the modern aesthetics of bold colours and fluid lettering. This fun adventure covers the making of a hoop from start to finish, as well as tips and tricks I've learned in my decades sewing..
- You will learn:.
- This class is designed for the absolute beginner, and assumes no previous stitching experience. It is also for more experienced sewists though looking to explore a new technique and play with incorporating lettering into their stitching..
- The supplies needed are fairly common and if you have none of them on hand the whole set up can be purchased for less than most meals out. Embroidery is an affordable and portable way to play creatively and produce small pieces with big impact..
- I have attached a complete pattern in the class resources section with details on how to follow along with what I do, or tackle a more elaborate version. I've also included a bonus lesson on how to design and customize your own pattern if you want to branch out right away with your own creation! Whether you want to follow along with me stitch for stitch or play with your own invention, I can get you there..
- I'm honoured to be a part of your creative journey and so excited to see what you make!.
