Embellish with Stitches - new class!

If you're anything remotely like me you've probably got a few pieces in your wardrobe that could be worn a bit more frequently. Yes? That jacket you used to love but now the love has faded slightly. Or a tshirt that could do with a brightening up.

♥ Embellish with Stitches ♥
Well, that's what my new class is all about! It's four weeks of stitchy goodness all focused on giving our wardrobes a bit of a makeover. There will be some fun techniques, new stitches to try and classics like cross stitch. All in delicious happy colours of course! The class is suitable for anyone, beginners and more experiences stitchers.

Some of the things covered in the class:
• Stitching on jersey (tshirts and similar)
• Couching
• Embroidery on a jacket
• Rhodes stitch
• Designs that will appeal to the menfolk in our lives
• Using soluble canvas
• Embellishing canvas shoes (yes, shoes!)
• And lots more!

♥ Class start ♥
The class starts on May 20th and runs for 4 weeks. You will have access to the class site after the end of the class and most of the material will also be available as PDFs to download and save on your computer. Sign up here for the class.

I hope to see you in class for some stitching fun! :-)

Next class: Christmas Stitches 2011

Hello and happy Friday! There's only about 3 months until Christmas, can you believe it?! This is a pre-announcement of sorts.. I'll be teaching the Christmas Stitches class again this year: pretty things to make as gifts or decorations, like the snowflake design in the picture! Most of the patterns and projects will only be available through the class. It starts on October 17 and runs for 4 weeks.

I'll tell you all about the details next week, first in the newsletter and later on the blog. Newsletter subscribers will get a nice discount, so if you're interested in the class, sign up for the newsletter here if you haven't already. :-)
