About the Workshop
Your design will be pre-printed onto silk dupion. During the workshop we will mainly concentrate on the embroidery of one of the four petals, together with applying the gold leather. A link to the video tutorial will be e-mailed to you after the workshop in order for you to be able to complete the embroidery at home and put the needlecase together.
