Textile Art – Free Machine Embroidery

This holiday is 7 nights/6 days long, with 4 mornings (each morning approx. 3 hours) – in the studio.

This holiday is for people with some previous experience with a sewing machine, who want to learn something a little bit different, something a little more “arty”.

I will show you how to:

  1. draw and “paint” with the sewing machine
  2. do raw edge appliqué one the sewing machine

You can combine the techniques with use of paints and other colouring materials, and stitch onto paper. I can also show you how to use dissolvable fabrics, to create lace-like pieces. You’ll learn these new skills, then work on a design and create a picture to take home with you…or, if you prefer, yes the free motion embroidery technique combined with “standard” sewing machine skills, and make an item such as a tote bag , cushion cover, zipped purse. apron or Christmas stocking/cushion decorated with free machine embroidery.
