Online Embroidery Class Turns Photos into Stitched Hoop Art

As sweater weather approaches, My Modern Met Academy offers a new online course titled 'Intermediate Embroidery: Getting Creative with Printed Fabrics,' taught by embroidery artist Floor Giebels. The two-hour class teaches participants to combine embroidery with printed fabric by photographing an image, printing it on cloth, and stitching over selected elements such as hair and clothing to bring the photo to life. The technique allows for embellishing beloved images without creating a full-scale composition, making it possible to finish a project in an afternoon or weekend. The course is suitable for motivated beginners, as Giebels demonstrates every stitch needed, and the lessons are infinitely rewatchable. For those without a printer, the course covers using online services like Spoonflower as an alternative to an inkjet printer. The course is available on My Modern Met Academy, which also offers other embroidery courses such as 'Mixed Media Thread Painting: Learn to Embroider Your Travel Memories.' The class is presented as a cozy, screen-free, and meditative craft ideal for the colder months.
