A fun day of stitching. We’ll start by learning or being reminded of some favorite embroidery stitches on a specially designed pre-printed sampler. Then add to the fun with some novel embellishment techniques. Look through the stitch guide and try some more difficult stitches. Learn how Catherine chooses, resizes and transfers her own designs onto dark-colored backgrounds. Get ready to start your next stitchery project.
Bonus: Dorset button-making is a traditional English craft experiencing a resurgence. We’ll make a Blandford Cartwheel to finish out our time together.
Enjoy the relaxed tempo and reconnect with hand work.
