Beschreibung
During this workshop I will explain how to switch from one color to another by creating a smooth and beautiful gradient. We will study together how to draw your template in order to include in it all the important details to be properly guided along your embroidery. We will work the basic stitches for this kind of embroidery (satin stitch, split stitch, short and long stitch, straight stitch) and see how they can be combined and used. We will first try filling in some shapes using two or more colors.
Finally, we will study my Maia Poncho, the pattern that I will include for you in my handouts and that you will be able to knit and embroider with all the techniques you’ll lean with me during this class! This is a super fun class, join me!
