Young Embroiderers

One of our students, Tara, has finished her embroidered bear that she started last year.  Not only did she stitch it herself but she designed her own embroidery, selecting the layout and the stitches.

But before she could stitch the bear she had to learn how to do the stitches and 'Cast on stitch' is not the easiest of stitches to learn.  After a lot of practise this was the result.

Not bad for a ten year old.  Seeing the pleasure she derived from doing this makes all the time and effort worthwhile.

I bet that lovely bear will be treasued well into old age.
Thank you for planting an embroidery seed into a young girl.
