Designed for my YouTube channel in 2021, you may also wish to make a start on this project by attending a workshop. The embroidery features 34 different stitches across the 19 hexagons, introducing stitches such as Roumanian couching, Ceylon stitch and Fishbone stitch. The embroidery can be worked in either an 8" or 10" embroidery hoop and is pictured here in a 10" hoop (not included). The embroidery itself measures 17 cm x 19 cm.
Cost £65 per person including all materials and access to all the YouTube video tutorials. Currently £35 for any subsequent workshop to work the same project (with tutoring but no materials provided).
