Notebook, The Craft room: Embroidery class

I just came from the Notebook magazine's Craft room where I taught embroidery. It was so much fun that I could not wait to share some pictures with you!

Everyone picked the designs to stitch and we started slowly....

I was very excited to see how well they did and while they were practicing chain stitch and French knots...

I draw Katie's and Tona's kids names for practicing stitches at home!

Thank you ladies for the lovely evening and being such a great students! Hope to see you on Friday 18th of June On the Etsy's birthday party! I am going to be there as well as other teachers and crafters! More details here:

A quick update....

This week I had my crayons out and finished off one design for my Notebook's craft room embroidery class. My first design just had to be a little matreshka doll...

I've also started on the actual embroidery last night and it's coming along pretty well....

I also finished one of the journal covers. I used a soft french themed gauze for the back and one of my hand stitched strings as a bookmark. See picture here.

Have a creative weekend!

I am teaching the embroidery class which is going to be held on 5th and 19th of May.

I will be showing the class how to stitch a wall-hanging. The choice of 3 cute designs will be provided. I am currently working on the samples and I will post some pictures in the next few weeks.
