New Darning Repairs Online Class

by Leave a Comment

New Class Friday this weeks brings before you the ever useful Darning Online Class. During this hour long video tutorial we will explain how to go about performing this traditional repair method demonstrated on two fabric examples. These approaches can then be transferred to your own item which needs fixing to give new life to tired or overloved items.

Starting with how to pick the right materials and equipment for your project and bringing context to the methods with some fabric theory, you should leave the class with your new repair skills in hand and little less textile being put out into the world. This class does not require any kits as you will be selecting for your specific item so you can start right away with the download. Any equipment items you are missing however can be purchased from the London Embroidery School website and delivered to you at home.

So grab that pile of items for repair that’s been haunting you for a while and lets put this time to good use with a little help from your nimble hands and the London Embroidery School.

If reducing waste and repairing things are your bag, you might like to also check out our Lace Applique (for damage that needs covering up) and Broderie Anglaise classes (making the most of that hole and probably making a few more to go with it) which can both be used as repair methods. See our lace applique stitch along video for some inspiration.

With Christmas around the corner and us spending even more time at home we have this set of Christmassy goldwork kits to offer you. The Goldwork star kits are for those who have done some goldwork stitching before and are looking for a new challenge, the results of which can be enjoyed over the festive period. Coming in 5 styles which cover a range of levels these written instruction kits are ideal if you want some time away from screens to focus in on your stitching and make something really beautiful.

Each kit will allow you to make a piece with a pearle purl edge and a combination of two goldwork techniques to fill your star. The kits include all the materials you will need to make your chosen goldwork star design utilising the equipment you will likely already have, or can pick up from the specialist equipment section of our website.

Once completed these stars make a great addition to a classy tree or an eyecatching tree topper if you want to give it pride of place. Head over to the London Embroidery School website to see all the designs in detail.
