Camellia Online Class is Out Now!

Friday 5th February 2021 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

Fabric Flower, Rose Flower, Camellia Flower, Fabric Manipulation, Final Product outcome, red, red flower

The much anticipated Camellia Online Class has come to the London Embroidery School. Heavily requested by our community, this online class will teach you to make the timelessly styling camellia design from easy to access items. If you have seen these fabric flowers before, they are usually made with heated shaping tools which are very niche, hard to get hold of and a little pricey so we have developed a pattern for you to create a similar effect without the hassle.

You can use your own materials and purchase the class only or grab one of our kits too and make it in the materials shown in the recording. Initially we will be launching this class in two colour ways of the sumptuous Boucles tweed with a leather version to follow in the near future.


During the class we will walk you through all the potential adaptations you could make to your design to create the best outcome for your fabric choice so that you can style the Camellia your way.

Items needed:
Fabric 25x25cm
Sewing Thread to match fabric colour (buttonhole thread if using leather)
Embroidery Needle No10 or Leather needle
Thimble (optional/ for leather )
(woven fabrics only)
Paper Petal Guide (sent to you with class email purchase)
Small Scissors–
PVA Glue (approx 40ml)
Modelling glue applicator (Leather only)
Small shallow container for PVA wash (woven fabrics only)
Gel Pen/ Fabric Marker / pencil
Iron on Backing (vilene) 25x25cm (open weave fabrics only eg boucles tweed)
Center embellishments (optional)
Access to an iron (open weave fabrics only)
A place to hang dry your PVA washed fabric (woven fabrics only)

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

Friday 30th October 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter Leave a Comment

Gold work, goldwork, Mellor, Equipment, Monogram, Monogramming, Lettering, Chipping, embellishments, product outcome, online class,

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…
