Using a piece of black & white Designer Fabric –‘Illustrations’ by Alli K –
students will learn a number of embroidery stitches to transform
the fabric to colour!
A practice piece will be stitched first to learn the embroidery stitches used,
before delving into the printed fabric.
All threads, fabrics, needles, needle threader & a bound embroidery hoop
will be provided in the kit.
The finished result could be mounted permanently in the hoop
(I painted the hoop with red acrylic paint after the embroidery was finished)
or mounted on a canvas block…used as the front of a cushion…
even as part of a garment!
Tea & Coffee will be available but please bring your lunch.
