Designed for my YouTube channel during the Covid pandemic in 2020, you may wish to make a start on this embroidery stitches sampler by attending a workshop. The project covers over 50 different embroidery stitches, so this is a great way to learn. Stitches are graded 'Easy', 'Intermediate' and 'Difficult', so can be worked in an order to suit your ability. The embroidery is worked in a 10" embroidery hoop (not included) and measures 17 cm x 19 cm. I have used a linen/cotton mix fabric as a base (c. 13" x 13") and am using silk threads. As an alternative to the workshop, a kit to complement the YouTube video tutorials is available to purchase now - click here.
