Hello everyone! 🌸
It's been a busy and exciting few weeks here at Arlene's Crafts, and today I have something special to share with you.
My printed embroidery tutorials are back!
Over the years, I've designed and created many embroidery projects, exploring everything from traditional Goldwork and Stumpwork to Silk Ribbon Embroidery, Surface Embroidery and Christmas decorations.
Recently, I've been spending time revisiting some of those original designs, preparing them as printed tutorials so that others can enjoy making them too.
There's something rather lovely about bringing an older design back to life, especially when it reminds you of the enjoyment you had creating it in the first place.
A Little Bit of Everything!
My growing collection of printed tutorials includes:
Goldwork Beetle – a beautiful project exploring traditional goldwork techniques.
Vintage Stumpwork Beetles – dimensional embroidery with lots of character.
Golden Wattle – inspired by one of Australia's beautiful native flowers.
Surface Embroidery Gecko – a colourful embroidery project.
Silk Ribbon Embroidered Bookmark – a lovely introduction to working with silk ribbons.
The Amazing Needle Case – something both beautiful and practical.
Victorian Christmas Boot – a delightful festive embroidery project.
Chevron Folded Christmas Ornament – a decorative Christmas project.
Folded Ribbon Christmas Bauble – another lovely addition to your handmade Christmas decorations.
Crazy Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt – a festive project combining beautiful fabrics and decorative stitching.
Whether you enjoy traditional embroidery techniques, love creating Christmas decorations or simply want to try something different, I hope you'll find a project that inspires you.
More Than Just Embroidery!
Of course, embroidery tutorials aren't the only things keeping me busy!
I've also been working on my colourful 3D printed Stitched Shapes, Christmas stitching kits, embroidery accessories and hand-painted wooden heads for MMMCrafts projects.
It's wonderful being able to combine my love of traditional needlework with some of the newer creative possibilities available today.
Come and See Me at Oakey Markets!
I'll be bringing my new printed tutorials, along with a selection of my other craft products, to the Oakey Markets.
If you're in the Oakey or Toowoomba area, I'd love you to come along, say hello and have a look at what I've been creating.
There's nothing quite like meeting fellow crafters, sharing ideas and talking about embroidery!
