Taught by Rebecca Ringquist
Combine bright floral patterns and vintage embroidery to create a fabric collage bursting with texture and pattern. Rebecca shows how to create a loose, freeform style of embroidery where more is more. She demonstrates how to blend different fabric prints as a base, then add vintage trims and embroideries – and she teaches several floral stitch patterns that add density and dimension. Once you’re finished embroidering, hang your finished collage on a wall or incorporate it into a sewing project such as a pillow or bag that needs some cheer.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Materials:
  • Small piece of linen or cotton fabric
  • Collection of densely patterned colorful fabric scraps
  • Collection of found embroidery (from old pillow cases, tablecloths, napkins etc.)
  • Found floral trims

  • Embroidery hoop
  • 6-strand embroidery floss
  • Perle cotton, size 8 
  • Embroidery needles
  • Milliner's needles
  • Tapestry needles

I totally love the idea of not starting blank and responding to & embellishing existing patterns & colors.

This class really made the creativity in my head come to life! I never wanted to do embroidery because my mother's was sooo perfect. This class gave me my license to do my thang. Thank you!
