For those who would love to learn hand embroidery basics, go from novice to confident embroiderer during this inspiring workshop.
This Introduction to Hand Embroidery Workshop is for those who have no hand embroidery experience at all or those who know a little about hand embroidery and perhaps haven't done any for a long time.
This three hour workshop will take you from being a novice or new embroiderer through to knowing a range of stitches and having the confidence to continue after the workshop finishes.
We'll start at the beginning with lots of tips on how to thread a needle more easily and how to choose fabric and threads as well as how to use an embroidery hoop effectively.
We'll then move on to learning a selection of hand embroidery stitches; how to work them traditionally and how to alter them to get new and interesting effects.
Your embroidery will be worked on to your choice of fabric to make your own unique hand embroidery sampler to show off your newly learnt skills.
All materials are included as well as refreshments. The workshop is held at Thrive Hive, Seaton Carew Methodist Chapel, Farndale Road TS25 1BH from 2-5pm.
