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. 

During this session you will be shown how to achieve different textures and stitches whilste “drawing with your sewing machine”. There will be a choice of different landscapes to inspire your design, alongside fabrics which will be used as a base to achieve different textures and layers. At the end of the session you may choose to apply some hand embroidered finishes with embroidery stitched or beads etc

 

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.

 

Who is the workshop suitable for?

This workshop is suitable for all levels, although some experience in using a sewing machine is preferable  

 

What's included in the course:

Cancellation policy:

As a courtesy, we will re-advertise your place in the shop and online. There is no guarantee it will sell, but if it does, we will issue you a refund or credit. You may use this towards booking another workshop. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a workshop, we’ll attempt to give you as much warning as possible.
