New Date for the Lace Series Course

Tuesday 13th November 2018 by Natasha Searls-Punter

On Saturday 24th November, we will be having a full day’s workshop dedicated to lace embroidery. Starting with Lace Applique, we will later move onto Broiderie Anglaise and finishing up with some Limerick Lace . We will introduce you to the techniques used in each of these styles of embroidery that give them their signature look whilst you practise a little of each.
Lace Applique. Starting with the original class we will be teaching the application of lace onto delicate fabrics, perfect for use on lingerie and evening wear. Dealing mainly with tension and placement this class will show you a very clever way of covering a lot of ground with pattern very quickly once in your stride.
Broiderie Anglaise. This tradition whitework lace technique creates an opaque cut work effect and will teach from applying your desired design onto cotton right through to creating the lace effect and stitches.
Limerick Lace. Incredibly delicate needlework lace created by stitching directly into the tulle and embracing the textures and patterns within the tulle itself. (reference flower image at the top in this style also)

October’s Student of the Month

Friday 9th November 2018 by Natasha Searls-Punter

We have been a little slow releasing the details of last month’s winner, but we are delighted to share with you the stunning work of Gwendoline Burel who submitted her image of this butterfly she embroidered which we just thought was fab!

In particular the use of the silver plate really adds weight to the design and holds it own against the beads.

She also has a few in progress images on her instagram if you would like to check out her process and other lovely things she has made.

Kate Jenkins

Thursday 22nd October 2015 by claire

Kate Jenkins opened up her unique fish mongers at the Knitting and Stitching show in Alexandra Palace this October. What made her fish shop so unique was that it was entirely made from knitting and crocheting!

The whole collection took Kate Jenkins a total of 9 months to complete, and at a first glance looks exceptionally realistic. The textile fish counter even made it into the Waitrose Weekend Paper!

As admirers of her work it was natural to purchase one of her artworks, and went for the Ortiz Sardine Tin. The package came with a card signed by Kate Jenkins herself! A nice personal touch and a great piece of artwork for the studio!

Visit her website or instagram for lots more!

The Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace

Friday 16th October 2015 by claire

Last week, the Knitting and Stitching show was on at Alexandra palace from the 5th to the 9th of October. Norwegian knitting sensations, Arne and Carlos opened the show that 10am on the Wednesday of the 7th of October.

Not only was there hundreds of craft – based retailers to browse (or treat yourself in), there were around 200 workshops available to take part in! Including dressmaking, knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting and more, whether you wanted to learn something new or brush up on old skills.

One exhibitor that caught our eye was the RSN degree stand with their embroidered sieves, turning a conventional kitchen utensil into unusual, contemporary textile art.

For those who needed a break from the crowds, there was a tea room located in the stunning Londesborough Room, serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Overall the atmosphere of the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexandra Palace this year was exceptional, we can’t wait for next year!
