Are you stuck for last minute gifts?

Monogramming Online Class

Our christmas postage deadline has now past, however, we have lots of online classes which you can gift that dont have kits that require postage. So for that present you need why not consider giving the gift of lettering in the shape of our monogramming online class series, or a practical skill like Darning. Or for the more experienced stitcher, think about the goldwork letters online class. Quite a few of our other classes only require materials that a crafter is likely to have already like the chiffon rose and lace applique classes.

Failing that, if you dont feel confident enough to choose which class to get for them, gift certificates are also still available which can come in £10 increments up to £150 so you can pick exactly what suits you best. Find the gift certificates in the Christmas section of our website or the online classes in the online classes section.

We will be open for orders throughout the Christmas period and will still be sending out orders until the 20th Dec, but can no longer expect them to arrive before Christmas. After the 20th all orders will be sent out by the 6th Jan when we will return to business as usual. See you in 2021.

Available in 4 colours, mix and match or stick with your favourite as you make these soft, luxurious, 3-D flowers.  This class is great value as £15 gets you unlimited access to the class to watch, re-watch, rewind and replay as many times as you like and a mini kit containing enough supplied to make 3 roses.


Be sure to check out the stitch along we did on our YouTube channel, working on the chiffon rose below for more ideas about how to adapt the artwork to give the roses different characteristics and best suit your outcome.

Lucky Dip Organdie Rose Mini Kits

by Leave a Comment

 

Due to their popularity, we have launched a new product for the Organdie Rose Online Class family in the form of a lucky dip mini kit.

These packs will be made up of the off cuts and include 4 colours of organdie to make 4 roses with, the fabric for each colour will be in 2 or 3 pieces rather than the usual 1 piece of 30x30cm, but will still of course we more than enough to make a rose from. The colours included will be a random selection from our main range of colours; sunshine yellow, seafoam green, lavender lilac, rosewood pink and terracotta orange.

The icing on the cake is that these packs which make 4 roses will be only £15, a saving of 25% on the regular single colour packs which means one of your roses is free!

Snap up yours while stocks last by selecting the lucky dip packs from the drop down of the Organdie Rose Mini Kits product.

New Organdie Rose Colours

by Leave a Comment

Seeing as you all seemed to enjoy our organdie roses class and kits so much, we have been very much looking forward to sharing with you the news that are expanding our colour range. In addition to the lovely sunshine yellow we started with, we will now be stocking mini kits in 4 other colours, Rosewood Pink, Terracotta orange, Seafoam Green and Lavender Lilac.

As you can see these colours are great to mix together or match to you own colour scheme. The sculptural nature of the organdie roses means that you can manipulate them to be as big and open, or newly blooming a flower as you wish. Where do you plan on using your organdie roses, I’ve got mine earmarked for millinery, table settings, bouquets, hair accessories, corsages….

The Blooming Peony Class has Arrived

by Leave a Comment

A brand new class to the London Embroidery School, never before taught in the studio, is now Online. The Blooming Peony Class is the most robust of the silk flowers we teach, making them ideal for any project where the flowers need to be able to ‘hold their own’. Outerwear, accessories and costume are just a few of the outcomes that spring to mind as the blooming peony is a silk flower that is made to be both seen and touched.

Deluxe and mini kits are available to go with the class, unusually for us though this class is not just hand embroidery based. Therefore it requires access to a couple of items that are not included in the kits- such as a sewing machine. So do check those out before purchasing to avoid disappointment. (Please note there are a copy of items you will need access to, to make these peonies which are not included in the kits: Sewing machine, pins, ruler, pencil/ dissolvable pen)

When you have made your purchase, the link will be sent to your email and kits through the post. You can use the video as many times as you like, watch, rewatch, rewind and pause us as you please. At the end of the the class you should have your beautiful peony along with the unlimited skills to cut and make your own from whatever takes your fancy.

Want to see what all the fuss is about first? Watch the video below to see a taster version of the class.

April’s Student of the Month

by Leave a Comment

Like the rest of the world, we have had some big changes over the last few months, having postponed all of our studio classes, we have been trying to bring our classes to you at home online. Therefore this month’s student of the month is someone who has been engaging a lot with the online classes, making lots of beautiful things and refining her skills @a.sodha !

Starting with the Valentino Roses Class, but also having made lots of chiffon roses, the combination of the two designs is stunning.

@a.sodha has also been joining us on the live stitch alongs on instagram, so it has been lovely to get to know her a little from chatting there. Having our community get involved with us like this makes it all worth it so we are delighted that you seem to be responding to our adaptations well and long may it continue. 😉

 

If you would like to be the May’s #studentofthemonth, use the hashtag #londonembroideryschool or tag us when sharing your photos from your London Embroidery School class or the things you have gone onto make following one of our class.
