Learn how to embroider a shimmering Silk Ribbon design Christmas Decoration with tutor Jacqueline Schultz, using an array of beautiful Silk Ribbon on a Red Silk Dupion face fabric. Silk ribbon embroidery is fun, easy to master and very versatile. The three-dimensional effect of this soft, tactile form of needlework is one of its most endearing qualities. Pure silk ribbons are the only ribbons fine enough to slip through the eye of a needle and then through fabric to create delicate silk flowers. Silk ribbon embroidery uses a few stitching techniques that are unique but do not let this put you off as they are very easy to learn. Materials in the kit for this workshop include a 4”/11cm hoop. Red, 100% silk dupion face fabric, silk ribbons for flowers and hand dyed 4mm silk ribbons for foliage. You will use stranded threads in various colours and seed beads, enough to complete this workshop project. All specialist equipment will be provided for use at the workshop. During the day Jacqueline will model each step of the project and you will receive comprehensive instructions.
Tea /coffee will be provided throughout the day but please bring a packed lunch with you.
Cost includes the full kit to complete the decoration.
