Embroidered Felt Folk Ornament Workshop

Join Christine on this fun and festive workshop to create an embroidered and embellished folk art inspired felt ornament. Suitable for all levels of stitcher, this workshop is ideal for those new to embroidery and those looking for alternatives to working in an embroidery hoop. 

We will start the workshop by learning a selection of traditional folk stitches including satin stitch, fly stitch and whipped backstitch plus simple beading techniques. You will be able to practice your stitches on a sample before designing your final ornament. 

Having made your choice between a Matryoshka Doll, Dala Horse, Toy Soldier, Toadstool or Gingerbread House in a variety of colours, you will spend time embellishing the pre-printed design. Christine will be on hand to offer design suggestions and colour palette choices. 

Once the ornament is stitched, Christine will show you the best way to cut and construct it, how to add the hanging…
