Embroidery Stages 1 2 3

Transferring drawing to fabric (Euston), stitching details (Herne Hill) and the finished embroidery (Lambeth Country Show).

Simple Stitches zine

A small zine I made of stitches for the embroidery workshop at Bootle Library.

Introduction to Embroidery workshop at Bootle Library

I worked with The Human Library yesterday at Bootle Library to put on an 'Introduction to Embroidery' workshop. Our workshop participants used drawings from the weekly Sketch Club run by artist Jayne Lawless or drawings they made during the workshop. We draw onto greaseproof paper and stitched through onto fabric using back stitch. I love that when people sew, it's like drawing, everyone has a different style. Hopefully we'll be collaborating on some more fun projects and workshops in the future.
