Class description
This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to upcycle their own clothes beautifully and sustainably. I'll help you learn how to embellish your clothes and/or accessories with needle and thread and make them unique.
In this course, you'll learn:
- What are the best pieces of clothing to embroider
- Clamping the embroidery frame
- How to handle embroidery stickers
- 3 embroidery stitches for floral designs
- 2 embroidery stitches for motifs
- Finalize your embroidery, washing & cleaning tips
The workshop takes place here:
My small studio is located right on Friedenplätzchen near Lorettostraße in Düsseldorf Unterbilk. A really beautiful, urban area, which is also very worthwhile for browsing and shopping in the numerous owner-managed shops & boutiques. You can reach me in the backyard of Friedenstraße 36 - the house with the blue front door.
How to get there by train:
There are two stops in the immediate vicinity of the studio. On the one hand, this is the Kronprinzenstraße stop, 300 meters away (here line 707 goes to Düsseldorf Central Station in a few minutes) and the Bilker Kirche stop, 400 meters away (the 709 goes to Neuss, the main station, etc.)
How to get there by car:
Enter the above address into the navigation system and off you go. There are plenty of parking spaces available, but you might have to search for them for a few minutes, so plan an extra 10 minutes. During the week, you have to get a parking ticket, and parking is free on weekends.
