Hardanger shirt project from “Early-Style Hardanger” One of the things I’m trying to do in my newer books is encourage people to wear their embroidery. I did a pattern drafting course a few years ago so that I could learn to draft my own patterns. In this book, there is a shirt with […] I am honoured to have been invited to teach in New Zealand in January 2017, by ANZEG (Association of New Zealand Embroiderers’ Guilds). My “tour dates” (I should get black T-shirts made up with these on the back, don’t you think?) are as follows: 4th/5th Jan: Otago/Southland (Dunedin) 7th/8th: Canterbury (Nelson) 10th/11th: Cook […] Early-Style Hardanger is now ready for pre-publication orders. This is the biggest book I’ve ever written (that’s why it took so long!). I’m so thrilled to final present it to you. What’s in “Early-Style Hardanger”? Briefly, Early-Style Hardanger by Yvette Stanton, has 160 pages and 3 pattern sheets. There are left- and right-handed stitch […] The final black and white proofs ready for the printers.

[…] Have you ever seen a video of someone stitching Hardanger klosters left-handed? They’re usually right-handed, aren’t they? Well, not anymore. Yesterday I wanted to spend an afternoon doing something fun, relaxing, and different to what I normally do. Way back in May last year, I shot some video of me stitching the collar for the […] Look what arrived in the mail for me today! Elaine was having a clean out of her bookshelves and decided that her copy of “White Work Embroidery” by Barbara Dawson, was surplus to her needs. She asked me if I’d like it. Being familiar with the book, but not sure if I owned it already, […] While on my holiday, I saw as much embroidery and textiles as I could reasonably squeeze in. There were a few places that I had to pass on seeing, such as folk costume museums that were not in the capitals, and therefore a long way away from where I was going to be. 🙁 So, […] When working dove’s eye filling stitch in Hardanger, you can work it either clockwise or anticlockwise. Both are acceptable, and both work. However, for consistency, you should always stick with the same method throughout a piece. Do you stitch your dove’s eyes clockwise (right), or anticlockwise (left)? As an addition to this question, are you […] Inspirations Magazine called me “the queen of white thread” in a Facebook post the other day, which was very nice of them! I love whitework for many reasons. Why do you love whitework? Please note, if you receive this as an email, if you simply reply to the email, *I* will see your response. […] |
