Next Level Beautifully Visible Mending

Do you love to stitch by hand and want to take your mending and embroidery game to the next level? This is the class for you! In this workshop, we will focus on incorporating more fabrics into our embroidery and mending designs. We will expand our stitch vocabulary (stitches you can pull out and use whenever you need them) and spend some time focusing on design, color and layering. You don’t have to take embroidered mending - level one to take Ievel two. If you already enjoy stitching by hand and want to explore new techniques this class is perfect for you!

 In this level two embroidered mending class we will cover the following: 

• Different types of mending stitches and what kinds of repairs to use them for.

• How to turn basic embroidery stitches into showstoppers with a little embellishment.

• Incorporating non traditional applique techniques into your mending or embroidery designs.

• We will cover repairs for knits and woven fabrics.

• We will explore creating your own embroidery designs that can stand alone or be incorporated into mending.

• We will get a plan ready for you to make your next stitching project a show stopper.

 I will have basic sewing supplies on hand for everyone, including fabric scraps and some fiber for stitching. I will also bring extra embroidery hoops you can use during class if you don’t already have one. If you do have your own hand stitching supplies, feel free to bring them to class. 

 Other supplies you will need: 

• A garment to mend or a piece of plain(ish) fabric to embroider on. The fabric should be at least 12”x12”.

• An embroidery hoop. An eight - ten inch hoop is about the right size. 

• Any fabric scraps or fibers you may want to use on your project.
