Our classes on embroidery continue. This week we will be taught different machine embroidery techniques. The first technique I wanted to try was " water soluble film embroidery". In the pictures below you can see this technique.
The beige leaf sample was my first attempt at this technique. It was actually quite fun.
I also did just plain machine embroidery, which was a lot of fun. Here are a few sample pieces that I made.
In the above picture you can see the sample pieces of machine embroidery.
In this picture I machine embroidered using both of the techniques I learned. You can see in the taller stalks of wheat the water soluble technique used. It shows white through the picture but that is only the white table your seeing through the wheat. I was very pleased with the end result of my first attempts of machine embroidery.
I also tried the machine embroidery on a felted picture that I had made earlier on in the year. I had never been quite happy with this felted picture, so I thought that the machine embroidery might improve this picture. It truly did. The grasses now seem to pop out of the picture.
Now.... all I have to do is buy a sewing machine that does embroidery....
HAND EMBROIDERY
Our second year of school has begun. After being homeschooling since March ( due to Corona Virus) it felt surreal to be at school again. So, anyways...this fall we began our schooling with hand embroidery techniques.
I loved embroidery this wheat design. It is so simple yet so lovely. It's funny that I have never really done any embroidery on my clothes.
Here is a fun way to cover up holes, and patches in your jeans.
These are 2-3 day courses that we get to try our hand at these different techniques.
