This a Live Zoom Workshop 6.30-8.30pm UK time Tuesday 24th June
After a corporate teaching session at JLR and the interest sparked by a picture that I made for one of JLR's most loyal clients, I have decided to do my June Zoom featuring a Land Rover.
It's holiday time too so what beter way to get us in the mood than to include a cute caravan.
I have surrounded the vehicles with a quintessentially British countryside but there is nothing to stop you sewing the lavender fields of Provence or adding the Eiffel tower!
My design uses a wooden stamp for the Land Rover but I will provide a template should you not wish to purchase a wooden stamp.
I will send details of how to paint your fabric before the workshop.
During the workshop I will show how to use your wooden stamp should you own one, how to create your trees in the background, how to create your caravan and explain how you can build up your own summer meadow.
This is a great class for people who can already free machine embroider. As time won't be spent discussing " how to FME" this isn't a class suitable for complete beginners.
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. I like to be able to interact with you all throughout the workshop.
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.
