After graduating from the Scottish College of Textiles, Galashiels in 1990 with a degree in printed textile design I established my studio and business in Edinburgh. I begin to incorporate free motion embroidery into my work.
This is the technique of drawing freehand with the sewing machine to illustrate an image or design. Building on my knowledge of garment construction I particularly specialise in historic stay and corsetry based garments.
You will create your own design, framed in a display hoop. All materials are included in the workshop price. Our experienced tutor Helen will be able to provide lots of ideas, patterns and inspiration.
