Forest Embroidery Class

Learn to stitch beautifully layered trees and forest foliage in this hands-on Sydney embroidery workshop



5 hours Class size 10 to 15 guests       $165

In this relaxing and tactile class, you’ll learn how to layer a variety of threads to create a richly textured forest scene. Using long and short stitches alongside seed stitch, Amy will guide you through techniques that bring depth, colour, and movement to your embroidery.
Whether you’re completely new to hand embroidery or building on skills from previous classes, you’ll come away with your own unique piece and the confidence to keep stitching at home.
This is a brand-new theme from Amy Jones, ideal for both beginners and returning students who’ve enjoyed past workshops like Scribbly Gum, Jewelled Moss, or Rainbow Coral.
During the class, you will learn:
  • How to use long and short stitch, and seed stitch
  • Tips for layering threads to create depth and texture
  • Techniques for stitching trees, leaves and foliage
You’ll also have the opportunity to view original textile art pieces for inspiration and gain insight into the design process when planning your piece.
This class will be held at Made By Me Workshop in St Peters, Sydney. It’s a calm, welcoming space designed to help you slow down, be creative, and leave with something truly Made By You.
We will provide refreshments and a delicious light vegetarian lunch for all attendees. If you have specific dietary requirements, please let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

  • 5/5 from Annette Tasker, attended Mar 2026: Excellent workshop with all materials and instructions provided. The day just flew by. Plenty of guidance and help was provided when required. Terrific positive atmosphere
  • 5/5 from Christine Sweeney, attended Mar 2026: Having seen Amy's solo exhibition last year I was keen to enjoy one of her courses. Embroidery is part of my own art practice and I chose this class specifically to finesse my "painting" technique. Amy's generous and natural teaching style worked for everyone no matter their skill level and the kit and quality of the threads she supplied is stunning. Rebecca's studio space immediately makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Spending the day with my girlfriend and other likeminded creatives, stitching, learning and chatting was wonderful. Rebecca's homemade morning tea and excellent vegetarian curry for lunch rounded out the experience. Nourishing and nurturing with Sugar being the cherry on top. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Amanda Duncan, attended Mar 2026: I attended on my own and had a wonderful day with wonderful people. My skill level is beginner but I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed it. Other attendees were very generous with their knowledge and shared useful tips. Don't hesitate to sign up if you are interested.
  • 5/5 from Samantha Sinnayah, attended Mar 2026: Fantastic class by Amy Jones in the enriching space Rebecca has created at Made by Made. Wonderful way to relax and be creative at the same time.
  • 4/5 from Susan Shaw, attended Mar 2026: A very enjoyable day with lovely threads and kit provided - as well as a delicious lunch

Creating balance with creativity & connection

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
