Gussy Up with Hazel Blomkamp

Keeping within the aims of Hazel's new book, to show needle artists how to embellish crazy patchwork making all of the components with a needle, thread and sime beads, this concept takes it a step further by creating the 'patches' too using needle weaving and embroidery techniques.

The kit includes the following techniques

• Weaving a block to look like fabric
• Needle Lace edging and fabric
• Shuttle tatting
• Bead embroidery embellishment
• 3-Dimensional bead flowers and leaves
• Off-loom beading weaving techniques to create braids
• Embroidery stitches and combinations for crazy patch embellishment

The full instructions are found in the book Hand Stitched Crazy Patchwork which is not included in the kit.
