All our embroidery online class kits, whether Chrismas gift wrapped or not, come presented beautifully in a recyclable box so that you get a fun unboxing experience when you receive your parcel. In this year when we might not be able to see one another as we usually would, sending someone the gift of a skill or something you have made with your new skills has an enhanced meaning.

As the final postage date before Christmas creeps ever closer (15th Dec for UK) , get your order into us to avoid disappointment as we can’t wait to see what you will go on to stitch.

We will continue to be working and post items out until the 20th Dec, but cant say for sure they will arrived before Christmas. After that all new orders will be despatched by the 6th Jan 2021.

Goldwork Christmas Star Kits are back!

by Leave a Comment

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.

 

Goldwork Letters Online Class

by Leave a Comment

Hello goldwork enthusiasts, this new class we have to offer is especially for you. The Goldwork Letters Online Class: Chipping and Pearle Purl is the first goldwork technique combination we will be teaching specifically for a lettering outcome. There will be more goldwork lettering classes to come, each a stand alone class, demonstrating different goldwork technique combinations for letters. These classes will be taught in a slightly different style to our usual, as they are for those with a bit of goldwork experience. We will be demonstrating on two letters which we will be breaking down into 6 characteristics, allowing you to apply those characteristics to whichever letters you want to work on. 

When you make your purchase you can nominate which letter template you would like to be sent which will identify the characteristics you should be paying particular attention to and suggest what types of materials you will need as there are no kits to go specifically with this class, so you can have more creative control over your piece. 

Head over to the London Embroidery school website for all the details and to start designing your own lettering outcome which can be made into Christmas decorations (see pro tips), wall hangings (see pro tips) , hair accessories, brooches…

Free Lace Jewellery Flowers Design Online Class

by Leave a Comment

This class launch, Lace Jewellery Flowers Design, follows the success of the first of the first we released in this style, the leaves design. This too is aimed at our novice embroiderers where together we will be working to make a pair of embellished lace earrings. Using basic techniques we will guide you towards good practises as we add the beads and sequins to the lace, whilst considering the piece as a whole for a 3D outcome. If you are fairly new to embroidery then this one is great for you as we share some of our tips that will help you on your way. Oh and did we mention, the class itself is free so you can enjoy the techniques taught and apply them to your own projects if you like.


This approach is more of a challenge on how to be delicate and tension your work as it is a bit fiddly. The finished pieces make a lovely thing to gift to someone special as the outcomes are so pretty and will post well if you aren’t able to see one another particularly at the moment .


The flowers design kit will be the first design in this style, though there are more kits to come which you can apply the same techniques to, or freestyle it to really make them your own. Kits are available to purchase on our website so head there now to grab your class and choice of kit today.

New Iris Structural Flower Mini Kit Launch

by Leave a Comment

Following on from the popularity of the Orchid Structural flowers class, we have developed a new flower in the same technique. So from today you can now get our newest Structural Flowers design, the Iris kit. As this kit uses the same techniques as the orchid, we suggest you take that class first so we can walk you through step by step whilst working on the same design. The Iris is a kit only so it is for you to challenge yourself and apply what you have already learned from the orchid class to this design. 

The larger surface area and exposed petals of the Iris gives you an even greater scope to personalise and customise this structural flower to your vision. So whether you want to embroider, silk shade or silk paint the petal shapes first, or embellish them once it is constructed.

So if you are looking for a new project you can achieve at home, look no further and head to the online classes kits section to get your structural flowers iris design sent to your door.
