Traditional embroidery is one of the most fun and fulfilling ways to create something special with your hands. With my class, Hand Embroidery: Stitching Woodland Creatures 101

we will focus on demystifying the process of creating different and believable textures. The techniques learned can be used to embroider any animal.

We will go over the following:

Materials needed
In this class we will be using simple stitching techniques to create advanced effects.
We will look at how to choose your color palette, and how I chose mine.
How to trace your pattern
For the hedgehog spikes we will make a rough texture, in contrast with some of the softer textures.
In the squirrel section, we will use needle painting to give a blending effect, and to create soft, fluffy textures.
Whilst making the fawn, we will be creating a contrasting pattern in the fur.
In the last section we will be looking at framing the hoop ready for display
