Stitching Hoops!

I wish I could take credit for these stunning beauties!

These are the amazing stitchery creations of my uber talented friend, Sarah.

I have coerced persuaded Sarah to teach a Saturday workshop next term, and share her brilliant hand stitching talent with others!

Sarah has very cleverly designed these samples to teach and showcase a variety of stitches, from simple running and back stitches working up to the more decorative chain stitches and French knots.

Folks will also learn how to finish off their hoops.

There is a very different atmosphere in class when we don't have the whirring of the sewing machines!  I anticipate lots of chatting, laughing & craic - I think there will be more than the hoops left In Stitches!

Hand Embroidery Workshop - Saturday 8th February 2014

Miss Eddy Debut

Today was the 'Miss Eddy' handbag workshop.

This was a challenging workshop for the ladies, who managed to get most of the bag made in one day!

I love the variety of fabrics the ladies chose, and how it changes the look of the bag.  Some of these will be wash bags when the handles and zips have been attached.  Aren't they so stylish!

Well done ladies, for hanging in there!  I hope you get your bags finished and put to good use.

The pattern for Miss Eddy is now available in my Etsy shop.
