Young Embroiderers'

Last Saturday, Chelmsford's YE had their meeting and had fun making books with pelmet vilene, transfer dyes and pages painted with brusho dyes. A small group this time, due to exams and holidays and so with the support of our helpers, they all managed to complete their books during the day. They were shown how to stitch into their pages for added embellishment, so hopefully they will do this at home. They are all keen stitchers and you can really see the progress they are making. I love how independent they all are with their design ideas when working on their projects. At school, so many of them work on a similar version to the samples shown, or copy someone else on their table.

                        Both hand and machine embroidery were included on some of the books.

Next month the girls will be working on piece of embroidery that they will be able to enter in the YE Regional Day competition called 'Paradise Gardens'. They can all enter one piece of work and we have suggested that they choose their best piece of work from either the next meeting or the last two.
