Crafting at Sea - hand embroidery workshops with Clare Albans
Thank you so much for coming to one of my workshops aboard the wonderful Ambience, with Ambassador Cruises and Prima magazine!
You'll find additional resources for my workshops on this page. If you have any questions at all after the workshop then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
I really hope that you love taking some time out to be creative. Remember that hand embroidery isn't just about your finished project, it's also about enjoying the process too 😊
Try not to worry about how slowly you are stitching - everyone works at their own pace, and hand embroidery is meant to help you slow down.
Please only print what you need, and recycle any printed pages when you have finished your project. You'll also find links below to stitch tutorial videos for all the stitches included in the design too.
Don't forget to share your stitching with me - tag me @hellohoorayblog on socials!

Stitching on denim workshop
In this workshop, you'll learn how to create a fun, geometric design on denim.
We'll use a selection of colours provided, plus I've got my loose ends jars if you want to have a rummage through those for extra colours.
Don't worry if you forget what to do these stitches once the session is over - you can watch my stitch tutorial video on YouTube 👇🏻
Please note that we're not using lightweight interfacing in the workshop, but you can always add it later if you wish.

Stardust hoop workshop
In this workshop, we'll learn 8 different stitches: straight, backstitch, satin, seeding, French knot, fern, star and chain. These are some of the basic embroidery stitches that you find in embroidery patterns.
We're using quilting cotton to provide the basis of the design, and in this workshop we'll create a modern sampler style design using these stitches.
