Elizabethans enjoyed wearing clothing – lavishly embroidered with stitchery in gold and silk – scattered with gold spangles (sequins) and characterised by scrolling golden stems enclosing flowers – leaves and insects. Learn to embroider a three-dimensional peapod and a sparkling butterfly in raised work. Enclose these within a curving scroll in goldwork embellished with beads and then – for fun – add a caterpillar or an insect of your choice.
