In this delightful day retreat, you will create a vintage inspired fabric journal with the option to also uncover the beautiful art of free motion embroidery. We will embark on a journey, beginning with the creation of our book structure including decorative stitching and a variety of fabrics and image transfer. You will have the option to learn some elements of Free-Motion Embroidery too but you can create a beautiful journal without this element if free motion isn't for you.
Students will need to bring their own Sewing Machine for free motion embroidery. You do not need a fancy sewing machine, we will only be using straight and zigzag stitches but please insure your machine is in good working order and that you have a darning foot and the ability to drop the feed dogs. I advise having spare needles and I like to use machine embroifery needles by Schmetz .
Country House Craft Studio takes great pride in delivering a friendly and relaxed high-quality experience. You will leave with wonderful memories and new crafty friends.
