Floral Silk Ribbon Embroidery Sampler
Floral Silk Ribbon Embroidery Sampler with Donna Davies. Join Donna Davies from Make Your Own Happy and discover the beautiful art of ribbon embroidery in this relaxing and rewarding three-hour workshop.
Ribbon embroidery has a rich history dating back centuries and is known for its delicate, textured flowers and elegant decorative designs. In this beginner-friendly session, Donna will guide you through the essential stitches and techniques needed to create your own stunning floral sampler.
Using colourful ribbons and simple embroidery stitches, you’ll learn how to form beautiful blooms, leaves, and decorative details while exploring how ribbon can add depth, texture, and dimension to your work. Although the finished pieces look intricate, the techniques are surprisingly accessible and enjoyable to learn.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created your own floral ribbon embroidery sampler to take home, along with the confidence to continue embellishing clothing, accessories, gifts, and home décor projects with this charming traditional craft.
Perfect for complete beginners and those looking to try a new embroidery technique, this workshop offers a creative and mindful way to spend an afternoon.
All materials are provided.
