Mini hoop embroidery
Create a sweet posy of hand embroidered flowers in this new workshop from Beth Power. Framed in a miniature craft hoop, they can be turned into magnets, brooches or pendants/hanging decorations.
Hand embroidery is therapeutic, methodical and relaxing so treat yourself to a few hours learning some new, simple stitches with a big impact, playing with colour combinations and practicing your technique.
What will we cover?
During the session we will make a mini hoop (only a few centimetres across), with a choice of shapes and sizes on the day. They are super cute and can be easily made into a variety of different things which would make a wonderful gift or keepsake.
How will I be taught?
Suitable for all skill levels.
Do I need any previous experience or skills?
Are materials provided? Is there anything I need to source myself?
We will be provide:
mini wooden craft hoop, all fabrics, embroidery and sewing threads and felt. A larger hoop will be loaned for stitching in for the duration of the workshop. Choose from a magnet, butterfly brooch back or metal loop to turn your finished piece into a decorative magnet, brooch or pendant.
You need to bring:
Sewing tools you are comfortable with, ie: needles, needle threader, small embroidery/fabric scissors, magnifier.
What will I take home with me?
A mini embroidered piece that can be used as a brooch pendant or magnet.

Tutor
Beth is an embroidery and textile artist from East Sussex who has always loved creating, sewing and playing with (or hoarding!) beautiful fabrics. Since completing a degree in Mixed Media Textiles at De Montfort University, Leicester, she has developed her own distinctive style of embroidery art using pre-printed or coloured fabrics to build up landscapes (affectionately known as Stitchscapes) which are then highly embellished with multiple forms of hand embroidery. With a free-style approach and a no-right-or-wrong attitude, her art pieces are becoming more textured and three-dimensional, with an eye for colour and patient attention to detail in every one. What started as a hobby has now turned into a flourishing embroidery business, Dotty Textiles.
