Central London Embroidery School
On last Wednesday we had our DIY make your own gifts: Lace Jewellery class.
In this class the students work onto the freestanding pieces of lace, embroidering through the lace itself and learning how to work ‘invisibly’ so as not to upset the asthetic of the lace itself with the embroidery additions.
The students made a set of earrings, using a selection of beads and sequins to create a lovely personalised gift.
London Embroidery School were so impressed by all of the bold, statement flowers that were seen at the last Fashion Week, we couldn’t help but try our hand at some for a DIY Chiffon Rose Class!
We were especially inspired by the luscious red roses at Dolce & Gabbana that were oversized, 3D and beautiful!
Inspired by this we have made our own version with a bit of a vintage touch, applying these show stoppers to a t-shirt or top of your own. These hand made roses are soft to the touch, and once the technique has been learnt they can be made in any size and use them to instantly embellish things such as tops, dresses, hair accessories and cushions.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn how to make these fabulous couture roses, and breath new life into an unloved piece of your wardrobe.
We’re looking forward to teaching you all this wonderful new technique and seeing what you create!
