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….

Find these in the kits heading of online classes on the london embroidery school website to have your mini kits sent to you at home.

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.

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.

New: Chiffon Roses Online Class

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.
