This Introduction to Embroidery ‘Jacobean inspired leaf’ has been designed for the embroiderer who wants to stitch a classic style piece using traditional materials, but isn’t quite ready to undertake the much larger project of a Jacobean Tree of Life.
The creation of this leaf kit design began with a mono-coloured leaf pattern I found on a cushion cover at my mother’s house. I liked the shape so much that I developed it so that it could translate into an Embroidery. The inspiration for this glorious mix of Autumnal colours popping against the dark grey originated from seeing the autumnal trees against a stormy sky on of my walks around the New Forest.
Using traditional Jacobean materials, this autumnal leaf motif is worked on a cotton twill fabric using Appleton's Crewel 2ply wool on an 8in embroidery hoop. Although this design includes the basic Crewel Embroidery stitches of Stem Stitch, Chain stitch, Fly Stitch and Seed Stitch, the tutor will also teach you variations of these stitches such as Detached Chain Stitch, Closed Fly Stitch, multi coloured Seed Stitch, Whipped Stem Stitch and Whipped Fly Stitch.
No experience is necessary for this class and there will be plenty of opportunity during the class to ask the Tutor questions.
The class kit will include everything you require to complete the project. You may like to bring your own embroidery scissors and you will be able to borrow ring frames, magnifiers and lights (if needed) on the day.
All the stitches covered in this class and more can be found on the RSN Stitchbank.
