About This Class:

Ever wanted to try adding new materials to your embroidery, but were afraid it might be too hard? It's really not! 

During this workshop, you'll be introduced to the world of fun bead and sequin embroidery and learn all of the basic techniques you need to make this stunning ice cream brooch.

Our resident sequin expert, Daria, will take you through each stitch you'll need to complete the piece, as well as how to finish it off (you will need to do this at home). This is a great project to introduce yourself to sparkly beaded embroidery, or perhaps you already know how to embroider but are looking to stretch your skills! This workshop will help you learn the basic steps and stitches, and with a little bit of practice you will be able to create any design you want.

Your embroidered ice cream will eventually come off your hoop(if you want it to) and you will have the option to turn it into a brooch so you can show it off wherever you go, and trust us, you'll want to make more.

About This Class:
You may recognise this type of embroidery from your Grandma's home in the 60s, but now it is back! Well, actually it never really left. Bargello is a truly unique form of embroidery as there are both specific stitches and patterns required to make Bargello, Bargello.

During the class you will be introduced to the typical 'Vertical' stitch used throughout all Bargello, and then you'll get your head around the geometric patterns which are also characteristic of Bargello. You'll be stitching in no time, either one of our patterns or your own design, as our tutor is on hand to teach you how to use this unique form of embroidery to design your own unique pattern. Bargello can be used on normal fabric-like needlepoint fabric but we're using plastic canvas so that you can turn your Bargello design into a coaster! Or you can sew them up to create a pencil holder, plant pot, tissue box cover even.

About This Class:

Embroidery has come a long way since Jane Austin’s heroines would sit and sew in the drawing room – we’ve brought the pastime back with our own modern take on the original. Our beginners embroidery classes in London give you all the basic techniques you will need to continue this therapeutic craft at home.

Our beginners embroidery workshops teach you five popular stitches including back stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and the French knot. You’ll be able to choose a fun design (or a drawing of your own) to embroider yourself using all the new skills you have learnt.

Your embroidery design will stay in the hoop and you can hang it on the wall for show! Once you’ve mastered the skill, you can try napkins, sheets, pillowcases… In fact, there won’t be a soft furnishing in your house left unadorned!

About This Class:
A wise man once said 'you are either in your bed or in your shoes so it pays to invest in both'.. and so in-comes our brand new workshop! And no, before you ask, we are not teaching you how to make a bed (haha) we are actually teaching you how to make your own leather trainers. So take a walk on your crafty wild side and stitch together a stunning pair of trainers to keep your feet looking fashionable this year.

In the workshop you will get a choice of styles to choose from; will you go for low top or high top trainer? Or go super high or super low? Yes there is something for everyone!

During this workshop you will learn how to cut your leather trainer pieces, construct and stitch the uppers (the top bit of the shoe), make professional holes with a leather punch, and lastly how to bring all these elements together to make a pair of pretty cool functional shoes - we promise. Depending on your ability of working with leather, you may have to finish the other shoe at home with your needle and instruction sheet, if this happens don't worry because you will be well on your way to finishing the pair in the class.
