About the workshop:
Our freehand embroidery workshop is a fun filled day that will allow you to explore the technique of drawing with your sewing machine whilst creating a beautiful one off, piece of art for the house. You will work with some gorgeous fabrics to create a scene/ picture of your own design, that will eventually wrap around a fabric storage pot, then build layers of texture and line using free stitches.
 
During the workshop you will learn about how to set your machine up, understand your machine tension and other key tips to keep your machine happy whilst working freehand. We will start with a starter activity which enable you to build your confidence and skill around working the fabric in the machine to create different textures and lines. We will then move on to designing a scene/ picture that will be worked on throughout the day, which can then be made into your own storage pot.
