Silk Ribbon Embroidery
Silk ribbon has a wonderful soft texture and the design by Cathy provides an introduction to this type of embroidery with 3 or 4 different stitches creating the flowers and dragonflies. It is worked on pure silk dupion with a mix of variegated and single colour ribbon, and mounted in an oval frame, which is included in the price.


Suitability - Beginners 
Suitable for beginners. It may be helpful to have done some stitching previously, but this is not essential.

What you need to bring

All materials and equipment are normally provided, however during the Covid-19 pandemic, you should bring your own sewing kit and you will need to bring an 8" embroidery hoop. A seat frame is best, but not essential. Alternatively, you may borrow a standard hoop for the day if requested in advance.

Cost
£49 per person including all materials and the oval frame.

About the Workshop

The skeleton design will be pre-printed onto the silk dupion for you. You will learn how to start and finish your ribbon and then create the flowers using straight and ribbon stitches. The flower stems are worked in two different ways. As a guide, you should be able to complete 50-75% of the work during the workshop.
