What shall I embroider next, welcome to a life with embroidery

Nice to meet you. My name is LOUPE (Loupe) and I make animal brooches as an embroidery artist. I started embroidery in earnest in 2017, about 5 years ago from now. Since my daughter was born, I spent more time inside the house, so I pulled out the embroidery tools and books that had been tucked away in the closet, saying “even if it's some handmade hobby...”, which is the beginning of my current activities.

I usually “like embroidery x love animals,” so I make embroidered animal brooches. A sloth that doesn't move too much and moss grows on its body, but then uses it as a snack. A blue-tailed gavel dances with petapeta, deep blue legs. I'm particularly attracted to such slightly strange animals, so the members who have a strong sense of strangeness are the center.

“I don't know where to start preparing my tools”

“I tried embroidery with reference to books, etc., but I couldn't do it well.”

I was very interested in embroidery. Did you stumble at the first entrance? I thought about the class so that the content would be recommended for those who feel the hurdle of starting to study on their own.

Build small steps by stacking them together

We'll start with the basics of embroidery, such as how to choose tools and how to copy a pattern onto a cloth.

For example, even if you say “fill the surface with satin stitch” in a nutshell, the ease of embroidery and the beauty of the finish will change depending on where and in what order you proceed with the needles.

Let's have fun holding down the basics of embroidery with the slightly strange animals.

I'll tell you the tricks I've learned or found, so please enjoy embroidering your favorite designs after attending the course.

1 animal in the world! A small partner you create with your own hands

Since it is a course of several months, let's take the time to learn everything from the first step to application while having fun.

You can untie the embroidery and redo it, or you can cheat by layering the stitches. “Stitches that were rattled at the beginning will gradually line up smoothly,” and “you will be able to pass the thread through the needle.” I want to make it a class where we can accumulate such small steps together.

After class, I want you to enjoy embroidering your favorite motifs on handkerchiefs, eco bags, etc.

Because every day is busy, I feel refreshed by having time to silently move my hands just for myself. I feel refreshed. The sense of accomplishment of steadily, little by little, but steadily coloring the cloth with thread is pleasant.

Each animal brooch created by hand embroidery has a different look, even if they are based on the same design.

You can enjoy going out with your little buddy that you created with your own hands, or decorate it in your home.

“This kid has a slightly blurry face!”

“It's kind of musky, isn't it?”

As such, a life where you have your own “Uchinoko” by your side should be a little more colorful than usual.

Why don't you enjoy living with embroidery together?
