Beginners guide to The Jacobean Stag - Video #1

Your choice for what Katie did next was - The Jacobean Stag. Our newbie stitcher is starting by getting her hoop set up with help from Phillipa’s video today. You can stitch-a-long with Katie as this design is available as a complete kit from our website via this link: https://www.crewelwork.com/products/j... This is Katie’s third crewel work kit and she’s learning using the kit instructions and Phillip’s ‘How to’ videos. The Jacobean Stag Crewel Work kit includes classic as well as rare historic crewel work stitches. The variety of these stitches and techniques will keep you entertained and result in an interesting and beautiful embroidery.  This design is from an early 20th Century pelmet. In the 17th century, ‘Jacobean’ designs such as these would have depicted a full hunting scene with hounds and running stags, however, by the early 20th Century such compositions had evolved into a more decorative and peaceful version of the style. This design is part of a series which includes the Running Hare and the Phoenix & Tree Level 2 Crewel Work kits.  #CrewelWorkCorner.
