About the Workshop
Bayeux stitch is so named because it is the main stitch that was used in working the famous Bayeux Tapestry. It is a simple to learn and very suitable for beginners, with only three basic stitches. The design will be pre-printed onto your silk and you will work the embroidery using pure silk threads that are easy to sew with. We aim for you to part-complete the design by the end of the workshop and feel confident to complete the embroidery at home. During the workshop, there will some instruction about making up your own designs to use with this stitch.
