Embrace the slow fashion movement with a glamorous twist with stitcher to the stars, Chloe Patience, by learning how to upcycle your clothes using embroidered embellishments. Learn the essentials of hand embroidery & beading techniques with the award-winning textile designer as we explore hand stitching techniques incorporating threads, wools, beads and sequins, to create embroidered motifs that you can use to jazz up your garments.
We’ll experiment with non-conventional and sustainable embellishment alternatives, learning how to use these in a professional and elegant way to personalise your wardrobe. As well as using the beads and sequins supplied, we will include recycled sequins and re purposed beads. A selection of beads, sequins and fabrics will be available in the studio but feel free to bring in any old necklaces or special beads and other materials that you might want to use.
This workshop will be chock full of bedazzling techniques .Over the course of the day you will create an embroidered patch and learn how to apply it to add glamour to an old garment, jazz up a plain jersey, add a bit of bling to your favourite bag … the possibilities are endless. We’ll work on detachable patches – a sustainable solution that can be used time and time again due to their transferable nature. You can use your patch to add a bit of something extra to a plain garment, or it can be used to cover holes or stains to repair and revive old textiles. You can even reinforce your motif and add a pin to create an instantly transferrable embellished brooch.
This class is perfect for newcomers to embroidery as well as those who want to improve their skills and add extra techniques to their stitching repertoire.
