This is a live zoom class that is at 6.30-8.30pm UK Time on Thursday 28th November
Make this lovely robin decoration by free machine embroidering on white linen
Would suit people who can already free machine embroider
Your linen is put in a hoop so that you can stitch your robin and holly leaf. Seed beads are used for the holly berries and delica beads are stitched around the robin, representing snow.
He's then stuck to cardboard, another piece of linen is also stuck to cardboard before both pieces are hand stitched together. Gold twine makes a hanger and gold braid is hand stitched around the edge, finishing it off.
He is now ready to take centre stage on your tree.
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.
I will show y ou all stages of the decoration so that you can finish your robin off after the class.
The class will have a maximum of 10 participants.
There will be a comfort break during the class
