Pattern Designing for Embroidery

Service Description

Would you like to learn how to make your own embroidery patterns? This workshop will take you through all of the steps; - Finding inspiration sources. - Colour planning. - Colour choices, - Easy ways to draw your own design, for which no drawing skills are necessary. - Using the most appropriate stiches for the design. - How to avoid stitching yourself into a corner. - I will be imparting my experience with designing, and the rules and rationale behind my embroidery designs. No drawing experience is required, if you can hold a pen, then you can do this. I create all of my patterns by hand, and I will show you how I do this. This workshop can be tailored to your own skill level in terms of embroidery, but I will also be demonstrating some key stitches that are used in a lot of my designs, because of their versatility. These stiches are surprisingly simple. You will have your own embroidery pattern to practice with, as well as the materials needed such as pure linen panels, paper, frixion pens, and a choice of embroidery threads of wool and cotton. Please note that the studio is on the third floor of Woodend Mill One, and there is no lift. If you have any questions before the day, then please email me at hello@littlehouseofvictoria.com
