Play with volume and create original three-dimensional embroidered pieces using alternative materials

It is important to know the old ways perfectly so that you can find new ones that no one has ever trod before. The Argentinean clothing designer and embroiderer Nayla Marc creates embroidered pieces with traditional materials but adds alternative fabrics and new textile techniques to achieve volume, three-dimensionality, and a very contemporary aesthetic.

In this course, Nayla teaches you three-dimensional embroidery techniques, from volumetric stitches that are embroidered directly onto the fabric, to other stitches that include padding. See how to include pieces embroidered with wire inside and also, lined pieces that will later be included in the main embroidery. Give volume to your creativity!
