Stumpwork Poppy

This stumpwork poppy corsage has been designed by Cathy using silk organza, pure silk threads and beads to decorate. The wired petals and leaf are worked individually before being attached to create the corsage. Measuring approx. 8cm across the petals, the poppy is backed with red satin fabric and a brooch back. The techniques used to make the poppy can easily be applied to make other corsages using different coloured silks and stitches. As an alternative to the workshop, a kit with online tutorial is available to purchase now - click here

About the Workshop
The workshop is limited to 12 persons, who may be working on different projects.
​
You will start by making one wired petal with red silk organza that is outlined with blanket stitch using silk thread. The leaf is made in a similar way but embroidered across the surface, and a start will be made on this during the workshop.   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 or return to attend another workshop at a reduced price.
​£1 for each place booked will be donated to the British Legion Poppy Appeal.
