EASY EMBROIDERY with Kristen Doran at 'ikke'

Embroidery sounds like you need a lot of time and a lot of patience. Think Jane Austen novels, women stuck by the fireside, killing time while waiting for men to get through cigars port. Not so! Textile designer Kristen Doran has made it easy for the time-poor modern gal. 
Simple whimsical embroidered pieces which can be mounted on a wall or sewn on to a cushion or bag. 

In this workshop Kristen Doran will teach you the basics of embroidery - back stitch, chain stitch and satin stitch for you to create your own piece. You choose your design from her printed panels, choose your thread colours and she will show you how to get stitching. Embroidery 101. Easy.

For this workshop we will provide all materials.
We will have a short break with a light snack and tea or coffee concluding the workshop with a glass of 'bubbles'.

You will go home with a gift bag, your embroidered piece, a gift from us and a $15 ikke voucher......and a new found skill!
