Description
Set within a wooden cabin in Sarah’s garden overlooking open fields you’ll experience a day full of creativity as you step into the world of freehand machine embroidery.
This final studio workshop of the year will be lovely and festive; surrounded by twinkling fairy lights in a cosy studio you’ll explore the world of freehand sewing whilst creating a stunning stitched robin brooch and a collection of Christmas cards.
You’ll learn how to transfer your design onto fabric, how to control your freehand sewing to add details to your robin as well as learning some super tips along the way to create a gorgeous robin backed onto felted wool.
The Christmas cards will be made using a freehand embroidered appliqué technique, stitching tiny pieces of fabric directly onto a card blank. This is a wonderful way of using up those scraps of fabric, and an in expensive way of making special cards for all sorts of occasions – you’ll possibly never buy a greetings card again! There will be a range of designs available to you for inspiration as well as a large choice of festive fabrics for you to freely use. Sarah can cut your fabric shapes for you so there is no need to worry if you don’t feel confident in creating a design yourself.
The workshop will commence with a detailed demonstration followed by assistance with setting up your machines and you’ll have plenty of time to practise – gaining confidence with the technique before you start on your brooch. Throughout the day Sarah will provide continuous guidance and share helpful tips and troubleshooting advice she has gained through her 35 years of practising this technique.
Please bring your own sewing machine and make sure that you are able to lower the feed dog – this enables you to sew freehand. If you do require a machine there is a machine available to loan – please ask for this when you book. Thread, fabric, card blanks and envelopes will all be provided, simply bring along an embroidery foot and load up your bobbins with white thread!
All Sarah’s workshops are fun and relaxed amongst a lovely group of like minded people. Quite often ideas, projects and new techniques are shared so that everyone, including Sarah, feels like they’ve had a very full and enjoyable creative day!
Drinks and sweet treats will be provided, however please bring a packed lunch.
The studio is situated in Easons Green, East Sussex, TN22. Address, directions and a list of what to bring with you will be sent once you’ve made your booking. If you have further to travel and would like to stay overnight Sarah is happy to recommend local accommodation for you.
