I have always considered ribbon embroidery as “dessert” embroidery! It is fairly easy, quick, and you get a lot of results for your efforts! Done with a variety of widths of silk ribbon (4mm, 7mm) in gorgeous colors, it is just delicious! You do not need previous experience to “learn” this type of embroidery, but I would hope you have some level of comfort with a needle in hand.
While learning how to handle the silk ribbon, we will tackle a variety of types of flowers, buds, and leaves. First we will try these out on a practice piece of linen, and then make a small floral motif on a piece of silk fabric. Beautiful, and no calories!!
*The instructor will supply the ground fabric, silk ribbons, needles, and written instructions for an additional fee of $12.00 to be paid to the instructor at the beginning of class.
