Flower Patch Hand Embroidery Workshop with Rachel Davies

X

Description

Create a unique fabric patch for your own clothes! During this workshop you will be guided to create a hand embroidered flower patch to be used on either jacket or jeans pockets, or to attach to the pocket on a bag. It is suitable for beginners with little sewing experience. The stitches: Lazy Daisy, french knots and straight stitch will be taught, as well as simple applique. You will paint your own canvas background, before adding texture and stitch when your fabric is stretched onto a wooden embroidery hoop. I will demonstrate each stage as we go along, including how to hand paint with eco fabric paints, split stranded embroidery threads, using an embroidery hoop, and how to create the stitches. Once the embroidery is finished it is trimmed to size ready for you to take home and add to your garments or bags. Alternatively I will supply a little artist canvas which you may choose to 'glue' your embroidery to, to create your own 'flower patch art'. The workshop is intended to be very relaxed and easy, yet quite unique in its approach to traditional hand embroidery.
