Start Stitching - Tipsy Tea Cups

Start Stitching – Tipsy Tea Cups

Cost: $90.00

The motif of delicate, mismatched floral porcelain tea cups and saucers mimics mid-20th century tea sets.

Traditional linework embroidery evokes a nostalgic, home-made charm.

The combination of soft pastel blues, pinks and yellows is consistent with colour schemes of the 1950’s and 1960’s kitchenware.

Each tea cup is stitched in a different embroidery stitch and shade of brown. The delicate floral patterns are worked in mismatch shades of colour with small metallic embellishment.

The design will introduce students to the basic stitches of hand embroidery, including Holding Stitch, Back Stitch, Whipped Back Stitch, Detached Chain Stitch, Colonial and French Knot and Reverse Chain Stitch. This is a fun way to practise these basic embroidery stitches.  The completed embroidery can be framed, used as small tray cloth or just completed for learning and fun!

Fully illustrated instructions included in the kit with everything else needed to complete this embroidery.

Come and join us on two Sunday afternoons in July and August, for a relaxed class with other like-minded people.
