How you wear your Stumpwork Poppy Brooch, and how long for, is up to you. One thing we all know is that the Poppy is worn as a symbol of remembrance. What you may not be aware of is that is has been worn in remembrance of those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world for over 100 years.
The wearing of a poppy originated when, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres in 1915, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write his now famous poem 'In Flanders Fields’. The poem inspired American War Secretary, Moina Michael, who bought poppies to sell to her friends to raise money for Servicemen in need after the First World War. This was adopted by The (Royal) British Legion in 1921 who ordered a million poppies from Anna Guérin in France and commissioned a further 8 million to be manufactured in Britain. These were sold on 11 November that year in the first ever Poppy Appeal. The poppy now represents the contribution of families and of the emergency services.
During this class you will learn how to make your own Poppy brooch with its wire-edged scarlet cotton petals and three-dimensional jet black and dark grey centre. You will learn how to attach the wire along the edge of a petal design-line, carefully cut around the petals and then apply them around the raised embroidery centre before being stitched onto the brooch fitting. You will also learn all the stitches you will require to complete the design, plus full written instructions and all materials are included in the kit if you do not complete the brooch on the day.
The class is suitable for all levels although some hand embroidery experience would be useful.
The finished Poppy brooch is about 6.5cm in diameter.
There will be plenty of opportunity during the class to ask the Tutor questions and in advance of the class all preparation information will be emailed to you along with an invitation to join the class on the day.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
