E is for EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is the art of making designs using thread and fabric. I learned to embroider by tracing a simple coloring book page onto muslin. My mother showed me how to stitch around the outline.
Have fun learning some simple stitching techniques.

Materials: burlap, plastic needles, yarn, masking tape

Technique: stitching

Process : Cut out  a piece of burlap or other loosely woven fabric to your desired size.
Thread a large plastic needle with yarn. I wrap a piece of masking tape around the end of the yarn or easy threading. Sew dashes, cross stiches, etc.

Art center : yarn, burlap, plastic needles, buttons, cardboard, illustrations of embroidery stitches, sequins, rickrack, trimmings,
