Beginner-friendly workshop to embroider motifs and lettering onto knitwear, with three designs to choose from.
Meet Me at Mabel's is hosting an Embroidery on Knitwear workshop on Monday 30 November, from 18:30 to 21:30. It's a three-hour session, so you've got a proper stretch of time to get stuck in rather than rushing through a couple of stitches and calling it a day.
The whole point is learning how to embroider motifs and lettering onto knitwear. If you've got a jumper, a cardigan or a beanie that's feeling a bit plain, this is how you change that. You'll be working with three different designs to choose from, so you can pick the one that actually suits what you've brought along. The lettering side of things is a nice touch too — it's one thing to add a small motif, another to stitch a word or a name across the chest.
One of the best bits is that you don't need any embroidery experience to join in. If you've never even held a needle, you're fine. The session is built around teaching you the basics from the ground up, so you'll leave knowing how to handle the fabric and get your stitches right. It's as much about the process as the finished piece, and since you're working on knitwear, it's a bit different from embroidering on flat cotton — you'll get a feel for how to work with the stretch and the texture of the knit.
