This is a live zoom class that is at 6.30-8.30pm UK Time on Tuesday 27th August
This class is all about creating a summertime hay bale picture
Plain calico is painted, bondaweb is painted and with an applique felt hay bale tgat is free machine embroidered, your picture takes shape.
The only stitching in the background is a little wire fence with posts and some defination on the tufty grass. The hazy summer background is acheived with layers of painted bondaweb and some fibres.
Let me show you step by step how you too can create your perfect summertime picture
All patterns and photo of the finished picture are provided and you will receive an email link as soon as you book your place so you can print the patterns straight away.
Your log in details for the meeting are included in this link so please keep that safe.
All the materials are listed and as there isnt anything too complicated, you probably have it all in your stash already. I'm a great believer in using what you already have.
The free machine embroidery we will be doing is quite free in this project so it would suit someone who is new to free machine embroidery.
It is a relaxed zoom session and my small numbers always ensure a "workshop" feel to the class rather than a lecture. I will be able to help you throughout the workshop as you sew along with me.
The class will have a maximum of 10 participants.
There will be a comfort break during the class
You are able to view the requirements list before you purchase a place.
When you purchase a place on this zoom class you will receive the zoom log in details, details of the materials that you will have to get for the workshop and any preparation that you will need to do before the class. It is emailed to you immediately.
Please print off all pages and keep the link safe so you can log on in the evening.
