May 2024 Workshop
Playing with Embroidery Stitch Patterns for machine or hand stitch
Reduce – that stash
Reuse – that lovely work
Recycle – into new items
We have all been to a workshop or City & Guilds module, where we have produced lots of work, have no idea what to do with it, and put it in our stash. Bring it along and cut it up (or not) and stitch over it, using those fancy stitches you have never tried before, to make new pictures or cards or anything else you can think of.
You could also play with changing the colours and or texture with coloured pencils, crayons, water colour paints, ribbons, lace etc.
Equipment List:
Sewing machine or hand stitch
Free machine embroidery foot
Your favourite threads
Your old work (I would suggest that it is on thin fabric, cotton is best)
A3 cutting mat or smaller
Quilter’s ruler
Craft knife
Heat n Bond Lite
Wool felt
(The last two are for the backing, to stabilise the piece for stitching)
Additional equipment - if you wish to play with them
Colouring pencils (Good quality)
Crayons (Neocolor 1)
Water colour paints
Ribbons and Lace etc

Please don’t buy anything you don’t have. I will bring plenty for people to try. I will also have packs of Heat n Bond and Wool felt available to buy.
