Learn simple stitches and how to use them to make something unique to you. This relaxing session is for beginners or those who want to free up their technique.

We will explore a selection of stitches including: running stitch, stem stitch, French and bullion knots and seeding stitch. If there is a particular line or fill that you need we will look at the different stitches. 
You can use these to create an image which can then be left in a frame or made into a small lavender shape.

There will be an opportunity to look at different fabrics and fibres you can use, with an emphasis on re-using and adapting scraps and other bits and bobs. 

You can work on your own design, an idea you have been mulling over or you can work from one of our images. You will learn how to plan and transfer your design onto your base fabric.

This workshop is part of Sam’s Harrow Open Studio. Her artwork will be around for you to use as inspiration and ideas. It will take place in the Stitch Club Studio in Central Pinner. This Aladdin’s cave is full of inspirational textile bits and bobs. It has been adapted to our new way of being with a lovely outdoor working space where you can relax and forget about the world outside.

You will leave with new ideas and the confidence to create your next embroidery independently.

What will be provided?
We have all the tools and fabrics you should need.
What should you bring ? 
Just yourself will do. If you have some ideas or an image or more that you find inspiring, bring them too. If there is a fabric or fibre that you want to work with or know more about bring that too.

Kirstie Allsopp called machine embroidery “the crack-cocaine of crafts”. This workshop will give you a taste of what she means – you might get hooked too (I am!).
*You should already be able to thread and use a machine before the workshop. If you need a refresher we may be able to book in a 121 before hand. Let me know.

Stitch Club is a place to relax, learn and create. Each workshops is tailored to the attendees' requirements: whether you are a beginner or wanting to build on existing skills, whether your style is totally practical, slightly wonky or somewhere in between; they will work with you to achieve your best.

The workshop leaders have many years of both industry and teaching experience. Most workshops are led by Sam Harvey, a practising textile artist who has been running Stitch Club for over 10 years. Dress/Pattern Making workshops are run by Christina Figur, who studied Tailoring and Fashion Design in Norway, Italy and England before working as a designer for the likes of Top Shop and Paul Smith and who brings a wonderful Nordic aesthetic to our work. Stitch Club's background ensure that they appreciate the beauty and value in the quirky details; in making unique items and not just mass produced pieces.

Stitch Club loves passing on skills that they know will be useful, not just because you can drive a sewing machine or sew on a button, but because it helps you to relax and unwind in a mindful and creative way that is a fundamental human thing to do. Making, especially in a group, is one of the best things to do when you need some time out.
