Workshop details
In this introduction to raised embroidery, Faith will show you how to use wire and fabric to form the parts needed to produce a three-dimensional brooch. This will give you the skills required to be able to produce other flowers of your own design that can be used in future projects.
During the workshop you will be shown how to use wire around the edge of your shape to form a leaf and petals. Each piece will be cut out and embroidery stitches used to form the individual elements. These will then be put together, along with a ribbon covered bead to form a poppy design. Finally, a brooch bar will be added to the back, to make it into a wearable brooch.
You won’t need to have your materials ready whilst watching the live demonstration, it is a time to watch, ask and learn. After the demo you will be sent a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.

- No. 22 chenille needle
- Fine paper covered wires (28 gauge is ideal) - 3 required, approximately 35cm or 14” long. These can be in any colour as they will be covered, but green makes it easier to cover the stem.

- One round wooden bead approximately 12mm with a large central hole (if you don’t want to wrap your bead you can use a round black bead of your choice)
- Black ribbon to wrap bead
- Small brooch bar findings (approximately 2cm or ¾”)
- Small amount of felt or similar (enough to cut out a 2.5cm or 1” circle. This will be on the back so doesn’t need to colour match exactly)
