  • Goldwork for Hector Maclean

    Hector Maclean Tatler

    I had a very crazy idea that I acted on, I asked Hector Maclean if he needed help with his collection and that I had potentially one or two embroidery learners who may help him, he said yes!

    This piece that has been worked on is by Tatu, Hector printed his logo on the grey velvet and asked Tatu to crack on with the gold work. I need to say that Tatu has only been with me since September 2024 and although she is a beginner, she is more of an advanced beginner. I would love to teach how to do gold work, but I would not as for a 10cm square piece it costs roughly £20 for the gold threads and considering I have eight or ten learners depending on the numbers and it is a free course it not realistic in the budget. The piece also has beads sewn in around the inside of the circle and Hector used ribbon from his brothers wedding, I love that detail.
