Description

Discover the art of embroidery in a whole new way! Learn to embellish fabrics or transform holes and stains into eye-catchers with creative embroidery and beads—turn textiles into unique pieces.
Welcome to my embroidery studio! In this course, we combine the traditional craft of embroidery with the modern trend of visible repair (Visible Mending). The choice is yours: would you like to design a new embroidery picture or artfully save a beloved piece of clothing that has a hole or a stain?

We use colorful threads and trendy bead embroidery to breathe new life into textiles. I will show you different embroidery stitches that you can use to either create freehand motifs or embroider over damaged areas so that they look more beautiful afterward than before. We don't hide anything – we embellish it!

While you immerse yourself in the world of needle art, cool and warm drinks provide a cozy, feel-good atmosphere. This workshop is perfect for anyone who loves sustainability and wants to design their wardrobe very personally. You will not only take home a finished project but also the inspiration and knowledge for many more upcycling ideas
