Now that the dust has settled from the grand finale of Game of Thrones we are feeling a little bereft. It is a long time till Series 8 which is why we feel you lovely readers may want to see a little of what we got up to with the wonderful Michelle Carragher, premiere embroider to costume designer Michele Clapton.

Michele Carragher came to join us at London Embroidery School to put on a special class focussing on some of the many techniques she use for the incredible costumes she has had a hand in throughout the season.

Excitingly Michele created LES a brand new Cigil to be used in the class which included many materials we hadn’t used before and many of the techniques that we learned were new to us. The style was very organic which was something many of us our not used to being a combination of machine and monogram embroiderers.

It was such an enjoyable day which flew by. Some of our wonderful students have made progress since with @mammacubitt being furthest along !
