About this Event
Introduction to Hand Embroidery: Festive Edition 🧵✨
Enjoy a little creative time this festive season and discover the joy of hand embroidery at The Crafted Corner!
In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create your own festive monogram—a decorative initial personalised with hand stitching and seasonal details. You’ll also get to add beads to your design, giving your embroidery extra texture and a touch of festive sparkle.
Whether you choose your own initial or make something for someone special, your piece will be a lovely handmade keepsake or a thoughtful Christmas gift.
What will you learn?
We’ll take you through the process step by step, helping you build confidence with a needle and thread. During the session, you’ll learn how to:
- Set up your fabric in an embroidery hoop.
- Thread your needle and get started with hand stitching.
- Practise a selection of simple embroidery stitches.
- Use those stitches to decorate your chosen initial.
- Attach beads to add detail, texture and sparkle.
- Combine colours and embellishments to make the design your own.
You’ll have guidance and support throughout, with time to ask questions, practise your stitches and enjoy seeing your design develop.
Who is this workshop for?
This session is ideal for complete beginners, as well as anyone who has tried a little embroidery and would like a festive project to work on. You don’t need any previous sewing or drawing experience—just a willingness to have a go!
Come on your own for some creative downtime or bring a friend and enjoy making something together. It’s a chance to slow down during the busy festive season, learn a new skill and meet others in our welcoming creative space.
