Creative Sewing Machine embroidery & Applique

Tuesday 21st July - 6:30 - 9:30

In this workshop you will learn gorgeous sewing machine based decorative techniques that use up scrap fabrics like appliqué, free machine embroidery and reverse appliqué.

Free machine embroidery is a beautiful and, most importantly fun and addictive technique where you quite literally draw with the sewing machine! You might want to upcycle old clothing with unique design, add something special to your homewares or make a creative textile artwork. It will truly take your homemade makes to the next level.

We’ll show you how to set up a sewing machine and your fabrics for free machining and then an array of techniques such as applique and reverse applique you can combine free machining to create unique works of art.

This is technique based class so you may not finish a whole design but you will become familiar with the techniques you can easily do again at home. You can work on multiple samples or just one.
