Drawn Thread Work Lavender Bag
An introduction to the technique of drawn thread work. This is a very old form of open embroidery giving a pretty lace-like effect that lends itself well to this delicate little lavender bag. It is worked on pure evenweave white linen, then lined and backed with pure silk dupion. There is a choice of silk colours.
Suitability
Suitable for everyone who enjoys stitching.

What you need to bring
All materials and equipment will be provided. However, if you prefer to bring your own small sharp scissors to cut threads, please feel free to do so.
Cost
£45 per person including all materials.
About the Workshop
You will learn to cut and draw the threads of the white linen and to work several of the traditional stitches associated with this type of work, including one that incorporates beads (pictured at the top of the page). You should expect to complete at least 3 different stitches during the workshop, but will be shown more. Full instructions & materials will be provided for you to make your work up into a lavender bag afterwards. The work is completed without using an embroidery hoop.
