What is Embroidery Club?

Posted by Poppy Treffry · January 17, 2024

Embroidery Club is an online programme which brings people together virtually to learn and develop their freehand machine embroidery skills over several weeks of sewing fun. I run approximately two clubs a year.

Each week of the club I send out detailed instructions, templates and videos on how to create a unique project designed by myself, exclusively for the Embroidery Club.

Joining the club also gets you access to a private Facebook group to share your progress, discuss any issues and sewing-wins. This is also where I hold weekly live Q&A sessions for everyone's burning questions.

Clubs have been made for various seasons/occasions and the patterns/video instructions for each project are published after the clubs have finished for anyone who missed out. You can find these HERE.

How did the clubs start?

Embroidery Club was one of those ideas that came to me in the middle of the night. As the country was shutting down in 2020, I’d sent all my team home on furlough and I was lying awake wondering what on earth was going to happen to my business and my team.

I never dreamed it would turn out as it has. From day one I realised it was something special – not created by me but by the people taking part. Through the Facebook group, the emails, through the struggles and triumphs of everyone taking part the Club has become almost a therapy that has not only rescued my business but has given us all the creative, messy space we didn’t know we needed.

Here's some wonderful reviews from previous clubs:

"It was brilliant. Loved it. The projects were great. The instructions were clear and easy to understand with added support of the videos/ Facebook. I learned new skills working with different textiles. Looked forward each week to the next project! Would thoroughly recommend it."- Sue B

"Had a fantastic 6 weeks with like minded people making Poppy’s unique designs. The projects were explained well and complemented with video instructions. It was great to see all the finished products, many of which had individual variations on the theme, opening up further the possibilities of creative sewing." - Ann C

"It was a brilliant idea and so helpful. I didn't purchase the fabric but used my own and created some work that even I didn't think I was capable of. Knowing we were all in it together and working alongside each other, albeit remotely and not really knowing each other, gave me a boost. Then to be able to share our work was lovely." - Helen F
