Lunar Lace Pendant on Beaded Spiral Rope
Workshop Description:
Fiona will show you how to create your own piece of “lunar lace” with free-motion machine embroidery on water-soluble stabiliser. You will then create a beaded edge (picot edging) around your lace, and complete the necklace with a beaded spiral rope.
NB: This workshop can also be taught without requiring participants to make their own lunar lace piece – if the venue is unsuitable for sewing machines, or if participants do not have an interest in making their own ‘lace’ on sewing machines, the ‘lace’ pieces can be supplied by the tutor, and participants will create the picot edging, bail and beaded spiral rope necklace.
This workshop is for all skill levels. Kits are available for this workshop.
Topics covered in this workshop:
- Free-motion machine embroidery on water-soluble stabiliser
- Picot edging
- Peyote stitch bail
