Cornish Ware Inspired Pot with Flowers Workshop with Cathy from Dear Emma Designs on Saturday 24th April 2027

Cornish Ware Inspired Pot with Flowers with Cathy from Dear Emma Designs

Saturday 24rd April 2027  – 10am – 4pm – £85 – Would  you like to design and sew your very own Cornish ware inspired pot with flowers?

Aimed at all abilities, I will demonstrate free-motion machine embroidery and raw edge applique, provide you with practices pieces and one-to-one tuition showing you to how to create your own design.  Your design will incorporate vintage fabrics and lace (feel free to bring along any special fabrics) and I will also provide templates and letter stamps you can personalise your pot if desired. Your completed piece will measure approximately 22cm x 22cm and can be displayed as a hooped picture (I can supply you with a quality Nurge hoop for a small cost), be framed by yourself at home or be part of one of your own projects, possibly make more into a delightful quilt?

A kit (£10) can be provided for this workshop and will need to be paid on the day to Cathy to include: Pale blue background fabric 25cm x 25cm, Cornishware inspired blue/white fabric, template for pot, some fabric for flowers, leaves etc, some vintage fabric strips/lace etc for the tablecloth

Sewing machine –  All students must provide their own, fully functioning sewing machine capable of free motion machine embroidery, including the appropriate darning foot. Please note: A darning foot does not usually come as standard with your machine and often has to be bought separately. I will not be able to mend or assist in mending any faulty sewing machines. This is the responsibility of the individual student. 

*Sewing machine needle – Please ensure that you have a 90/14 (that’s a medium weight) sewing machine needle for your machine plus a spare. 

Please ensure that you have practiced free-motion on your own sewing machine to be confident that your sewing machine will be suitable for this workshop. 

*Threads – Please bring a dark colour thread to practice free-motion embroidery with. Depending on your chosen flowers, please bring appropriate threads. E.g Primroses – a variety of yellows, green and browns.  

*Fabrics – Please bring along any small scraps of fabric to suit your choice of flowers including fabric for the leaves and stalks. Plain or small print cotton fabrics are best.  

Pencil

*Fabric scissors

*Iron away pen (Frixion pen) optional.

*15 – 20cm embroidery hoop – I will also bring spares so no need to buy one especially.

This project has been designed to be presented in a 22cm hoop. If you would like to purchase one from me (Nurge #5 16mm deep)) I will bring some on the day. The cost of this will be £5.

Travel iron if you have one

*Can be purchased at Poppy Patch in advance (please just ask us to put anything to one side).
