About This Class
Learn everything you need to know to create your own hand embroidery Girls in Jewels. In this class you’ll learn how to embroider using metallic thread. Your project will be one of the Girls in Jewels pattern series that I designed exclusively for DMC.
READY, SET, STITCH!
Discover the beauty of embroidery. Inspired by Kendra Scott models, the Girls In Jewels Pattern Series uses DMC’s DAZZLING thread, Diamant Grandé, to get a 3-D effect on this chic approach to minimalistic line art.
ABOUT THE CLASS
This hand embroidery class is perfect for stitchers of all levels, whether you are a beginner or an expert embroiderer, hours of fun are guaranteed.Â
Let me guide you from the initial pattern download, to pattern transfer, to all necessary stitches, and how to finish your hoop.

Meet Your Teacher
Hello I'm Cristina! I'm the embroiderer behind Hoops & Expectations, a geek and chic Star Wars fan addicted to pistachio ice cream and crazy about embroidery.
MY STORY
I was born and raised in Barcelona, a city that I love, but to which I said goodbye some years ago when I decided to live abroad and look for new experiences.
I've lived in a variety of countries such as Norway, Chile, India or the United States, where I came for love, but that's another story ;)
WHAT I DO
Embroidery has always been one of my favorite hobbies. I am self-taught, I learned when I was nine years old and since then, I never stopped.
To bring embroidery to people, I decided to create DIY embroidery kits. I make embroidery workshops too and now I can also share ... See full profile
Hands-on Class Project
You are about to start a new embroidery project and I can tell exactly how you feel: excited, maybe a little bit anxious but happy. I hope this class inspired you and I'd love to see your Girls in Jewels
You can use my patterns and color charts or you can set free your imagination and create your own! You'll only get used to the technique by practicing and practicing and remember to have fun along the process.
1. Start by preparing your materials. Choose a light cotton fabric and the thread colors that you want to use in your embroidery. Use a hoop, a needle and a needle threader (if you need to) and remember to have a pair of scissors on hand.
2. Transfer your design and start stitching. Play around with different stitches you've learned, color threads and number of strands. Once you're done stitching, finish the back of your hoop and enjoy your creation.
3. I'd love to see your work in progress and final class project in the gallery.
4. Please don’t hesitate to share your finished hoop on Instagram or Facebook tagging @hoopsandexpectations or using the hash- tag #hoopsandexpectations
