Past Class – What a Difference a Stitch Makes
Enhance your lovely fabrics by adding another layer of stitched wool. Mary will teach you a number of her favourite outline and fill embroidery stitches. She will also discuss different needles, and how to work with different fabrics for the best result. You will be provided with a printed stitch sampler on which to try out the stitches. This can then be constructed into a handy stitch dictionary and needle book. You are welcome to bring some of your own yarn and fabrics so we can discuss and sample some creative ways to stitch. You will have access in class to other yarns and threads to try.
Not currently scheduled

Hutt Art Class- Stitch a Still Life
Create your own A4 size Still Life with a vase or a bowl containing three dimensional flowers, fruit and /or leaves.
Linen fabric will be available in a range of colours for you to create your own background textured with simple stitches.
A bowl or vase for your flowers and fruit will be appliqued.
Some threads and fabrics will be provided but if you have something special you would like to incorporate into the Still Life you are welcome to bring it along and we can discuss how to best use it. For example, the bowl for the cherries is from an old, embroidered doily and the cherries are red velvet. A piece of lace may look good on the table.
You may not finish completely, but you will have been taught and practised each step.
Advice and options for finishing your piece of work for display will be given.
