by Leave a Comment

Following the success of the Valentino Roses Online Class (still available) , we have a new class to bring you today, Chiffon Roses Online Class!

These 3-D flowers are very soft and sit high from the base so they have real impact when applied. In this video we will talk you through manipulating the fabric, adapting the draft and stitching your rose in real time with us.

As you may not have the right bits at home already for this one, there are two kits available to go along side the class, the Deluxe kit (£20) for those who need all the equipment and materials, and the Mini kit (£5) if you just need the materials. Kits will be delivered by post both UK and worldwide.

Masons Military Shop comes to the London Embroidery School

by

Along with our new bead and sequins section, we also have a selection of items now available on the London Embroidery School from Mason’s Military Shop. These include blazer and cap badges, cufflinks and buttons in military style from a range of squadrons, universities and establishments.

All the badges are hand made and vintage so they have plenty of character to them, no two are the same! They make great examples of the traditional application of techniques such as goldwork, applique and silk work which are beautiful pieces in their own right but can also serve to inform your own stitching progress.

With pieces starting at £9.99 for a cap badge, they are well worth a look if we do say so ourselves!
