This workshop will teach you the basic techniques of Drawn Thread embroidery, as well as how to do a mitred hem. Drawn thread embroidery is an openwork technique where threads are pulled and removed from an even-weave fabric, creating a lacy, open effect, which is then secured and decorated with various stitches like hemstitching or re-weaving.
