About this course:
Looking to develop a skill? To find a mindful practice? To create something unique and modern? Well, then embroidery for beginners is for you. Each week, Alice will show you different skills that you will practice in class. This course is for beginners so we will start at the very beginning! The first week we will talk through your materials, cover some of the basics (like how to thread a needle), and learn some simple stitches to get you started.We will build on this knowledge of stitches and materials as the course progresses each week. We will create a sampler for the stitches we learn, but also apply them to some small designs. Towards the end of the course, Alice will also help you to start creating your own design.
