Online Zoom Class

This design was inspired by the family of foxes the Tutor shares her front garden with. Facing directly onto a stretch of Ancient Woodland they can often be seen sloping through at all hours of the day and night, sometimes even with their babies. This little fox has been caught having a daytime nap in the long grass and daisies at the edge of the wood. He’s saying ‘I know you’re there, but please don’t disturb me, I’m really very comfy!’
The design measures 14.5 cm in diameter and is worked on a grey linen base fabric with embroidery completed in a range of Au Ver A Soie and Stef Francis silk threads.
The class is suitable for all levels of ability, including complete beginners. The Tutor will guide you through the basic stitches of Stem Stitch, Straight Stitch, Satin Stitch, French Knots and Detached Chain Stitch and give you some useful tips along the way, including suggestions as to how you may wish to finish your work.
