Zooming in Embroidery Workshop- Snowdrop- Tues 28th Jan 6.30-8.30pm
This is a live zoom class that is at 6.30-8.30pm UK Time on Tuesday 28th January 2025
 
Would suit people who can already free machine embroider a little
 
The course is for people who would love to create a beautiful snowdrop picture /card by using a variety of materials and free machine embroidering then to  cotton.
 
The snowdrop flower is created from two layers of synthetic organza, cut out with a soldering iron
and appliqued to the cotton. You can do this workshop without  a soldering iron if you don't mind your snowdrop having a frayed edge.
 
It is a relaxed zoom session and my small numbers always ensure  a "workshop" feel to the class rather than a lecture.  I will be able to help you throughout the workshop as you sew along with me. 
 
I will show you all stages of the snowdrop so that you will be able to finish it off after the class as you will not have the time to bead it during the class.
 
The class will have a maximum of 10 participants.
 
There will be a comfort break during the class
 
You are able to view the requirements list before you purchase a place.
 
 
 
When you purchase a place on this zoom class you will receive the zoom log in details,  details of the materials that you will have to get for the workshop and any preparation that you will need to do before the class. It is emailed to you immediately. 
Please print off all pages and keep the link safe so you can log on in the evening.
It is in a PDF format

    • Optional:  Soldering iron- I have used an 18w craft soldering iron. I buy mine from Margaret Beal at www.fusingfabric.co.uk. I like using the angled tip and if you have been to my classes, you will have used an angled tip. Please let Margaret know if you would prefer an angled tip when you order.
