Iโve always wanted to deep understand embroidery, and over the past month or so I was finally able to do that with the help of a great online learning resource called Craftsy.
Iโll be the first to admit that I have been lazy with my creative skills, and I realized that it was high time I tried something new!
Which is why I was super excited to discover that Craftsy, an online learning platform, has set online resources for embroidery!
Itโs incredible!
The format of the courses is great, with key steps and techniques broken down into short segments, making them very easy!
Here I share a few things I learned, so you can see just how easy it was to get started.
1. Stock Up Again
I loved that you donโt have to spend too much to get what you need for this skill. You will need a crewel needle and a tapestry needle, fabric and embroidery thread. Along with some small scissors and an embroidery hoop. Thatโs all!
2. Use a pattern
Don’t start sketch out your designs, but choose a simple patter.
You can transfer a pattern as the base, and even modify it to make it unique.
3. Get Stitching Embroidering
Is all about the different stitches, but to start you can focus on developing a few because the most simple embroidery only needs a couple!
I was able to create something to be proud of. Although I wouldnโt say Iโm an expert yet, it was so amazing to learn in such an innovative and flexible way. I totally recommend it!
