About the Design

Glamis Stomacher

Join us for a two-day online class with Deborah Wilding, where you’ll recreate the Glamis Stomacher design inspired by the striking portrait of Lady Arabella at Glamis Castle. Lady Arabella, a notable figure in Scottish history, is depicted in the painting wearing a richly embroidered stomacher—a decorative panel that graced the front of her gown, symbolizing both status and artistry in the 17th century. The intricate motifs and delicate needlework in her portrait reflect the skill and creativity of the era’s embroiderers.

In this workshop, Deborah will guide you step by step, sharing the story behind Lady Arabella and the historical significance of her attire. You’ll learn how to transfer the design, select suitable threads, and master the stitches that bring this elegant piece to life. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful embroidery that celebrates both heritage and craftsmanship.
