The focus of this workshop is on transforming old clothes that are gathering dust in the back of your closet, into personal pieces of art that you can't wait to show off. This will be done through simple but effective embroidery techniques. I will guide participants through the entire process, starting with choosing suitable sites for their embroidery, deciding on designs, picking out colours and finally, stitching their chosen design onto their clothing. The goal of this workshop is to learn how to bring new life to clothing you might no longer enjoy, not to produce perfection, and if the stitching goes outside the lines, all the better! The workshop is suitable for anyone who can hold a needle and thread, and while some experience of sewing is preferred, it is not necessary. I will provide examples of a variety of stitches and suggested designs for beginners and more advanced sewers alike, and will be on hand throughout to help with problems or questions as they arise. Participants should bring in 1-2 items of clothing that they would like to embroider. Examples of ideal items include: ripped jeans; discoloured t-shirts; stained officewear, tired beanies, or simply an item of clothing that fits, but doesn't excite.
