Hazel Blomkamp is a master of her craft with an incredible breadth of embroidery knowledge. In this course you will have access to Hazel's vast and unique library of stitches (listed below), which will inspire your stitches for your own embroidery designs. This proud fellow is featured in Hazel’s recent book ‘Crewel Birds’, which is supplied with the kit.

Total running time: 20 Hours (Introduction: 2 hours, Stitch Library: 18 hours)

Course outline explained: In the first three 'Introduction' videos Hazel talks you through setting up your stretcher bars. She then talks through each section of the design, explaining which stitch to use where and the order in which to tackle the space. The 'points' she refers to in the videos relate to points in the instruction book provided with the kit.

The second group of videos you will gain access to is a 'stitch library' which you will use to access the stitch you need based on where you are in the design. There are 107 videos and 18 hours worth of content in this stitch library and it is designed to be dipped in and out of based on the stitch you need.
