For this task, we had to create a number of hand sown samples, particularly using the running stitch. For my samples of embroidery thread and linen, I wanted to create colourful pieces of work to link back to my mood boards. For my first attempt, I created simple rectangles to try and get the hang of the technique and after this I explored more complex ideas. I feel I have created some successful samples and they link well to the colourful and bright mood I want to create within the part of the workshop.
