Whitework Embroidery

There are lots of techniques and stitches included. Within your course, you get downloadable written instructions packed with photos and diagrams. Each section has its own set of videos, in which I talk you through what I'm doing and why. It's almost like being in class, but with the added bonus that you can access it at your convenience!
