Create a beautiful and practical embroidered project bag in this relaxing mixed-media workshop at KAN 2026. Begin with a calico bag featuring a hand-drawn watering can or flower pot design, then bring it to life with fabric paint and colourful floral details.

Once your painted design is dried, you’ll add decorative embroidery to create texture and personality. Choose from a selection of simple floral patterns, making this project suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike.

All materials and equipment are supplied, and the design has been carefully created to be enjoyable, achievable, and completed within the three-hour class. Materials Fee likely to apply. No previous art skills required.

You will receive a booklet with all the embroidery stitches that will be covered and many more, charts for duplicate stitch, there will be samples to look at and photograph for future reference, plus all the hand dyed yarn required for the class (plus each student is encouraged to take extra meterage home with them to practice with), embroidery needle and – for KAN students – a free embroidery pattern for one of Truly Myrtle’s designs.
