Area of Study: Embroidery Class Hours: 9 Class Type: Project Skill Level: All
Take a square of fine linen, add some threads, lace, lining and ribbon, stir in some of my favorite
embroidery stitches and see what a great little confection you can create! This lovely easy to stitch
t-bonnet is just as sweet as baby!
Class will start by learning a few quick tips for removing fabric threads providing you a canvas for creating
hemstitched bars and some interesting stitch combinations. You will put those tips to work immediately preparing
your linen for a fun day ahead.
Next, it is time to master hemstitched bars, shadow hemstitching and feather stitching -
the main components that transform your linen into a mini work of art. You can start in immediately stitching
on your bonnet fabric or use practice fabric already prepared for you.
The remainder of class will be spent: creating the ribbon rosettes needed to attach your bonnet ties and watching
demos showing you how to attach entredeux to fabric and attaching gathered lace to entredeux. Any remaining time
will be spent stitching on your project. Final bonnet construction will be completed at home.
