Hi! My name is Lizzie and I am a secondary art and design teacher. I studied Surface Pattern for Fashion at university and from that had lots of experience working in print studios for the fashion industry, including the womenswear department at Marks and Spencers.
I have been doing hand embroidery for 5 years. I find that it is very mindful and I get great pleasure from watching my designs grow. I get asked to do a variety of commissions, which I love, as I get to do things that I wouldn't normally do. Recently, I have been embroidering dogs & wedding bow ties.
Last year, I created a stitch swap. I reached out to people on Instagram to take part in this with me. This was great fun and super inspiring to work with other embroidery creatives.
I have such a big passion for being creative and I can’t wait to teach you a new skill!
Follow my Instagram to see what I have been up to & share the love!
I will be hosting this workshop from my spare bedroom, which have over taken with my arts and crafts!
