Dorset Feather Stitchery

Dorset Feather Stitchery
A combination of whipped blanket, fly & chain stitch make up this design, inspired by a group of 1950’s stitchers who christened this style of stitching with the name ‘Dorset Feather Stitchery’. This design by Cathy, 'Lady in the African Sun' , is worked on 100% cotton blue denim with colourful pure silk variegated threads.

What you need to bring
All materials and equipment will be provided, but you may wish to bring your own 10" embroidery hoop if you have one. A seat frame is best, and obviously you will need a 10" stalk to fit it. These stalks can be provided for sale on request, if ordered at least 8 weeks before the workshop (to fit an Elbesee seat frame). Alternatively a clip frame which is large enough for the project, would be suitable. These can be borrowed for the workshop if requested in advance and at least 6 weeks beforehand.

Cost
£49 per person including all materials.

About the Workshop
The design will be pre-printed for you on blue denim fabric. You will work the various stitches that make up ‘Dorset Feather Stitchery’ and may choose how far you wish to embellish your work. We aim for you to part-complete your stitching during the workshop.
