The Embroidery Project: Beyond Fabric and Floss Online Class
Hi! Stitch ON Grrl here!
I wanted to share w u all this awesome online class coming up in July!
Mollie Johanson of Wild Olive has put together a really great Embroidery Online Class.
Here is the details!
The Embroidery Project: Beyond Fabric & Floss is a five-week online class that focuses on using new types of media with your embroidery. Although we’ll use fabric and floss in some projects, we will also use vinyl, cardboard, wood, ribbon, twine, and more. If you’ve been looking for a way to expand your use of embroidery, or simply try some fun new projects, you’ll love this class!
During the five weeks, we will stitch on and with a variety of materials, and we’ll use embroidery patterns in some non-embroidery ways. There will be 15 technique posts, 15 projects, plus embroidery patterns, guest embroidery patterns, and posts and tips from some of the stitchers we all know and love. Then we’ll wrap it all up with a final extra project that will stretch our imaginations and stitching limitations!
Why would you want to stitch on things other than fabric? Well, fabric can only take you so far when it comes to making things. And I don’t know about you, but I love embroidery so much that I want to make it a part of as many things that I create. And then there’s the fun of stitching with something other than thread. The same old stitches take on a whole new look!
Here’s a list of the projects we’ll create:
Fabric & Floss Merit Badges
Corrugated Stitch-It Case
Screen Door Pendant
I Can See Clearly Now Sunglasses Case
Got You Covered Journal
Leave it Outside Wall Hanging
Don’t Get Ruffled Tank
Slip it in Your Pocket Chart
Paint by Pattern Artwork
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Stamps
Ribbony Undershirt
Felt-Pieced Plushies
Piece it Together Greeting
Candlewick Coaster Brooch
Wooden Photo Album
These projects are easy enough for beginners, and suitable for crafters of all ages. However, the class will not teach basic embroidery skills. You don’t need to be an expert embroiderer, but you should already know some basic stitches.
The supplies that are required are primarily basic craft materials. You probably have quite a few of the items on hand, and the rest are low-cost. You’ll even find some of the supplies in the recycling bin!
The cost of the class is , which works out to just over per project, not even counting the techniques, embroidery patterns, and perhaps a bonus or two.
Class begins Monday, July 12. And because five weeks isn’t very long to get all of these projects finished (life is busy…and embroidery takes a bit of time), the class blog will still be available after the class is finished.
