A Relaxed Day of Embroidery & BeadingSpend a relaxing day stitching, embellishing and creating a beautiful piece of embroidery using a wonderful combination of traditional stitches, decorative braid, sparkling threads and beads.
Throughout the day, Sally will guide you through each stitch with her friendly, relaxed teaching style, sharing tips and techniques to help you build confidence while enjoying the slow, mindful process of hand embroidery.
You’ll explore couched braid, stem stitch, back stitch and chain stitch, incorporating beads as you work. You’ll also learn how to create delicate detached lazy daisy and double lazy daisy stitches, adding texture and dimension to your design.
There will be plenty of beautiful embellishments to discover, including Pearle thread, decorative braid, several types of beads and sequins, metallic thread and delicate organza ribbon.
This is a lovely opportunity to slow down, enjoy a relaxed day of stitching and experiment with a gorgeous mix of embroidery and beading techniques.
You’ll leave with the start of a beautiful piece to finish at home, a collection of new stitching skills and plenty of inspiration for future embroidery projects.
A relaxed day of stitching, creativity and a little sparkle!
