{8/8} Botanical Embroidery with Rebecca Woolston

Continue building your embroidery skills in this intermediate-level botanical embroidery class with Rebecca Woolston of Rebecca Made.

Designed for students with some previous embroidery or needlework experience, this workshop focuses on creating dimensional botanical stitching inspired by leaves, flowers, stems, and natural forms.

Throughout class, students will work on a botanical collage heart while learning more advanced embroidery techniques, exploring thread layering and color variation, and practicing stitches that add texture and movement to floral designs.

Rebecca will guide students through transferring designs, selecting fabrics and thread combinations, and building confidence with more intricate stitching methods while still maintaining a relaxed and approachable atmosphere.

Because embroidery is a slower and more detailed craft, most students will continue stitching beyond class time — but everyone will leave with the knowledge, materials, and guidance needed to confidently complete their project at home.
