Embroidering onto clothes can be a rewarding way to liven up your wardrobe and proudly wear your art out into the world!
Embroidery artist Danielle Clough is best known for adorning unusual items with her threadwork, but in this class she’s showing you how to use her unique technique on a more traditional medium—clothing! Grab a shirt you want to upcycle or that tote bag that could use a little pizazz and prepare to get stitching.
During the class class—which was recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—Danielle will walk through all the special steps you need to know when it comes to embroidering clothes. From how to choose the right items to embroider to Danielle’s special tricks for making sure your stitching can stand up to washing and wearing, you’ll walk away with all the basic know-how you need to take your wardrobe to the next level and make clothes all your own with embroidered elements.
Along the way, students who participated in the live session were able to ask Danielle questions, so you’ll get to dive deeper into her life and process and generally feel like you’re sitting in Danielle’s apartment with her stitching and chatting.
While students of any level can enjoy watching Danielle work, you’ll be able to keep up best if you already know some basic embroidery skills and stitches. This class is the perfect follow up to her first Skillshare class, Modern Embroidery for Beginners, if you’re looking for extra practice or a useful way to take your embroidery skills to the next level.Â
