What’s it all about?

Would you like to embroider a beautiful ornament? With Christmas around the corner, now is the time to create a decoration for your home or to give as a special handmade gift for someone you love.

It’s not just the ladies of Jane Austen’s novels who like a bit of needlework. Embroidery can be a tranquil way of passing a couple of hours as well as a form of creative self-expression.

What will we cover?

This class is designed for beginners so we will start with some basics including how to thread a needle and place your fabric in the hoop. Throughout the class we will learn the stitches and techniques required to make the ornament of your choice using scraps of fabric, embroidery floss, buttons and beads.

All materials will be provided.

Who will be teaching?

Sue is an all round-crafty lady who will try her hand at anything in the realm of the domestic arts. She has spent many years wielding needles to knit, crochet, sew and embroider, and uses her skills to artfully avoid doing the housework.
