BEE CRAFTY ON A BOBBIN WITH FREE-MOTION EMBROIDERY With Ruth Parkinson-Johns
2-hour workshop – cost £38.00
 
Enjoy the rhythm of free-motion embroidery and raw edge appliqué to create a flower inspired stitched doodle. 

You will bring the blooms to life with a hint of metallic thread and finish off everything with a charming twist – mount your artwork on a wooden bobbin and add a cute bee motif to complete the piece.

This is a lovely project to continue at home, with a flourish of hand embroidery.

Advisory Note: 
Suitable for over 16’s only.
No previous machine embroidery experience is needed, although some knowledge of using a sewing machine would be useful.
