Handcrafts

Spend an hour each week stitching in this fun hand embroidery sampler class, held online via Zoom. This is a 12 week class, starting January 18, 2024. Each week, you will learn a new stitch and complete a section of the tropical fish design. The two fish panels are 12x8 inches and were designed by Becka and printed on 100% organic cotton sateen fabric from Spoonflower. A pre-washed panel, and 6mm/20mm iridescent sequins are included in your class fee and will be mailed to you after you register. You provide the rest of the materials and tools for class. See list below. You do not need embroidery experience for this class. Beginners are welcome! I will pre-record a class about how to finish your panels into a handy zipper bag so that you can work along with that lesson on your own time. You can alternately finish your panel as anything you like: frame it, add to a quilt, make tote bag pockets or table runner, use it for the front of a pillow. Featured stitches in this project: rosette stitch, herringbone, arrow, feather, buttonhole, wheatear with sequins, sorbello, rope, stepped threaded running, shisha, fly stitch with sequins, fishbone [read more...]
