I’ll have a large range of products with me – everything* you need for whitework embroidery! (*Maybe not quite everything, but pretty close!)

I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework (we’re doing the Square Mat from “Portuguese Whitework”) and merezhka (we’ll be making the Climbing Rose Runner from “Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery”).

I posted a link to my favourite scissors for Hardanger (Premax 2.75 inch / 7cm embroidery scissors), the ones I use, love, and therefore sell. The conversation carried on, […] On Sunday 30th November, there will be a fashion parade of Ukrainian blouses from various parts of Ukraine in Sydney.
