Embroidery social (Beginner+)

This event is an opportunity to meet other like minded people and create whatever you like embroidery wise. The session will start with a little technique demo from the tutor Louisa Burton-Shaw, a local artist, designer and owner of Stitchhappy.co.uk. 
This will enable beginners to learn something new each session, or provide a refresher for those with more experience. 
Techniques covered include free machine embroidery, stitching onto clothes, a hand embroidery technique or group of stitches.  You will also be shown how to hoop up fabric, transfer your pattern and finish your embroidery hoop for hanging . You will then be free to make your own project with help and guidance from Louisa should you need it.
You might fancy turning your embroidery into something like a Cushion or Tote bag?
Using scraps of fabric to create a collaged image and then use the sewing needle as a 'pen' and move the fabric around in any direction under the needle to draw your design on top?
