Brazilian Rose and Buds Saturday, June 9, 2012 12:00 to 4:30 PM with Patrice Krems Fee: $40.00 Plus a $10.00 Kit Fee

ou will learn how to create some of the most popular Dimensional Brazilian Embroidery Ystitches: Bullion / Cast On Stitch / Leaf Stitch / and Pistil Stitch while making this stunning rose and bullion bud. Brazilian Embroidery is hand stitchery done predominantly with dimensional stitches using the Z-twisted threads. Although it is man-made, rayon is not a synthetic fiber but regenerated natural fiber (cellulosic material, generally wood pulp). Rayon, a silk-like material, has long been the preferred thread for this style of embroidery because of its sheen and smoothness . Most stitches, especially bullions (which are used extensively for their dimensional effect), are much easier to make because of the rayon thread’s smooth texture.

REQUIREMENTS AND MATERIALS: Brazilian embroidery needles, threads and working materials are available at LMLT. A specific supply list will be supplied prior to class. Basic hand sewing skills required

You can register by mail, by email ([email protected]), by phone, or in the museum shop.
