Summer

Hattie McGill Designer in Focus

by

Are you familiar with the movie Murder on the Orient Express? Did you marvel at the astounding visuals? We know, we did! We loved the set, the alluring cinematic feel, and most importantly the characters who were dressed impeccably.

We are proud to be have Hattie McGill, who was involved in making some of the garments worn in the movie, willbe teaching classes from June to August 2018.

 

 

 

Hattie, who trained at The Royal School of Needlework, has a deep love for embroidery. Beginning at the age of 3, on a project for her mother to celebrate Mother’s Day. Since then, she has been hooked, engaging in this passion of hand embroidery, and has come far. Hattie has worked on several international embroidery projects such as marvel movie Dr Strange, Game of Thrones and with fashion house Alexander McQueen.

 

 

Aside from making superhero costumes, she’s a lover of nature. Creating beautiful crustaceans stitch by stitch and then throwing parties with them. Meet Jean Shrimpton, who latched on Hattie’s collar.

Relaunch of the Chiffon Roses Class

by

Since Spring has sprung we here at the London Embroidery School have decided to relaunch the Chiffon Roses Class. This class is perfect for learning how to create beautiful Chiffon Roses to jazz up any item of clothing.

Big, eye catching floral fabric manipulations have been seen all over fashion week over the previous years. References of this trend can be seen at Holly Fulton, Christopher Kane and Rodarte, but we think that Dolce & Gabbana took the crown with their oversized 3D roses in brilliant reds.

The roses you will be making are super soft to the touch and with the knowledge you will learn in the class you will be able to make these roses in absolutely any size, for any purpose. They could easily be applied to a dress or headband or even scaled up for a cushion cover. You can even make them in other colours!
