Creating your own embroidery designs is where embroidery as an art form becomes really interesting, as this is where the full extent of your creativity and potential as an embroidery artist can be explored.
Although the above description may sound very advanced, this course was designed with all levels, even beginners in mind.
When it comes to creating your own embroidery designs there are two routes that can be explored. It can either be creating your own embroidery designs digitally utilising computerised embroidery software to be embroidered utilising an embroidery machine, or it can be the creation of your own embroidery designs in the form of hand embroidery, which is a lot more hands-on and may require some drawing skills.
In future we will explore creating your own embroidery designs digitally utilising computerised embroidery software, but this particular course is aimed at creating your own embroidery designs through hand embroidery.
The Aim Of The Course
In this course you will learn the skills to create your own unique designs and make your mark in the fibre arts. By the end of this course you will have a thorough understanding of how stitch techniques, colours, composition, perspective and proportion create any embroidery pattern you can imagine. In this course you will also be shown concrete tips and tools of how you can compose unique patterns without the need for advanced drawing skills.

Wow- this sounds like a great course! The testimonial was great to read and proves that the course has real value in it. I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll bookmark this page if I want to enroll in the class later down the road.
Thanks for your description!
Dear Eric, the course certainly provides real value and a course I believe you will thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for visiting and thanks for bookmarking. Looking forward seeing you around.
Hi there, this sounds like a fun course. I was first introduced to embroidery when I lived in Scotland. Actually, I worked at a centre that hosted various crafting groups so I was exposed to a wide range of crafts. This course seems to be a great next step to really begin to personalise your designs and showcase your own unique style. Thanks for sharing.
Tamika, this will be a great course for someone that already have quite a bit of experience like yourself. As you mentioned, the course will certainly provide a springboard to really exploit your potential and creativity to personalise and showcase your unique identity and style. Thanks so much for visiting. Looking forward seeing you around.
Thank you so much. This article is really very helpful for inspiring my creativity. I am hoping to create an embroidery design for my 2 year old daughter. Thanks again!
