Description

This floral embroidery course for clothing teaches you how to create a bold textile embellishment that can be applied to garments.
You’ll stitch a gladiolus-inspired composition onto fabric, with techniques that let you later sew or attach your finished work to items like dresses, sweatshirts, or other fashion pieces. Through a step-by-step video tutorial, you’ll explore practical methods for working with stretch fabrics — combining organza, jersey, and beads to build a dimensional design by hand.

The outcome? A striking, wearable floral embroidery design you’ve made yourself — even if you’re a beginner.

Key Features:

  • Gladiolus-inspired floral motif — designed to make an impact and stand out on garments.
  • Made for fashion — ideal for embellishing jersey, velvet, or any stretch or draped fabric.
  • Wearable embroidery — not just a hoop or sampler, but a finished design you can add to your wardrobe.
  • Real-time video tutorial — step-by-step guidance with close-up demonstrations.
  • Fabric manipulation techniques — learn how to layer organza and shape fabric for 3D texture.
  • Bead embellishment basics — tips on adding sparkle and depth with simple beads.
  • PDF pattern included — printable embroidery scheme and full materials list.
  • UK-friendly materials — all supplies are easy to source in the UK or through common online shops.

Why This Course is Special

This isn’t a basic stitch sampler — it’s a project-based embroidery course with a wearable outcome.
You’ll build a floral embroidery design inspired by both catwalk looks and street style, while gaining skills you can apply to future garments. The course bridges traditional techniques with practical application for modern clothing — from sweatshirts to summer dresses.

You don’t need couture tools or rare materials — no Luneville hook or hoop frame is required. Just regular hand embroidery tools and a willingness to experiment with texture and shape.

Who It’s For

  • This course is perfect for anyone who wants to:
  • Learn floral embroidery in a structured, accessible way
  • Create bold, stylish embellishment for real garments
  • Explore hand embroidery on stretch fabrics
  • Try new fabric manipulation techniques without advanced training
  • Complete a wearable textile project — not just a practice piece

Whether you’re a beginner in embroidery or already confident with hand sewing, this course gives you everything you need to start and finish your own embellished garment.
