Nice to meet you, I'm Itosino, and I've been practicing embroidery as an artist for the past 6 years. After retiring due to marriage, I discovered my passion for manufacturing and embarked on my journey with embroidery.

As a self-taught artist, I've always focused on making embroidery fun and accessible for everyone. My aim is to make it as easy as possible for beginners to enjoy this beautiful art form, and I'll be sharing various tips and techniques that I've learned along the way.

Instead of creating realistic animal embroidery with many intricate details and colors, this class focuses on embroidering simple and cute forest animals. You will learn techniques to create a three-dimensional effect, such as a fluffy tail or sheep's coat. This class will teach you how to make small items like embroidered patches, brooches, and keychains using these techniques.

It may seem difficult, but in fact, there are not so many types of embroidery stitches used for animal embroidery, and they are not complicated.

In the class, we start with the basics of embroidery and gradually step up so that you can master fewer stitches. We will continue in this way, so even if you are a beginner, you should be able to enjoy creating works.

At the end of the class, I will help you make a "forest embroidery frame" where you can display the brooch you've made, so you can even decorate your room with your work!

Please enjoy the time you spend embroidering with these adorable animals.

In this class, we will be using some materials that are not commonly used in regular embroidery. These recommended materials have been personally selected to make embroidery more accessible and enjoyable.

In addition, I will also teach you how to embroider without using a sketch copy through the use of printable cloth, as well as the process of transforming a sketch into a finished animal embroidery. By practicing these techniques, you can arrange and embroider your own unique designs.
