Getting Started: Your Boho Toolkit
5:31
Ready to walk on the wild side? Nichole begins by introducing you to her original boho-style technique for making mixed-media hoops with collaged fabrics, embroidery and embellishments. Then she goes over the tools and supplies you'll need for your three projects.
Creating the Fabric Collage
9:40
After a brief introduction, Nichole helps you choose fabrics and colors for your fabric collage. Find out how to mix and match prints for a bold boho look. After that, learn two ways to transfer patterns to fusible web, how to cut and fuse fabrics for your foundation collage and how to fussy-cut with precision.
Essential Embroidery Stitches
15:29
Explore the range of threads, floss, and beads that you can choose from to stitch your projects. Afterwards, Nichole shows you how to set up a practice hoop and reviews some basic stitches.
The Make Project
14:01
Ready to put it all together for your first project? You'll use cut-out letters to spell the word "MAKE." After you cut and fuse your fabrics, add stitching, beads, buttons (optional), tassels and trim. Then build your skills by learning the feather stitch, a boho-style favorite.
The Solo Bird Project
16:48
Now that you've made your first boho-style hoop, move on to your next project: a bold, beautiful bird. See how to overlap fabrics, add more embroidery stitches, including the wheatear stitch, and experiment with some fun embellishments.
The Abstract Floral Project
8:55
Your final project is a botanical beauty with an abstract floral theme. You'll expand on the techniques you've learned with a more complex design, learn more stitches and then enjoy the freedom of improvising as you go!
Personalizing & Finishing Your Projects
10:11
To wrap things up, Nichole shows you how to neatly finish your fabric in the hoop and gives tips on decorating your hoop boho-style. Then get inspired to create your own designs as Nichole shares some of her finished works.
Let your stitches run wild with mixed-media embroidery! Embroiderer Nichole Vogelsinger shows you how to make three boho-chic hoop designs using a combination of stitches, fabrics (great for stash-busting!) and embellishments such as beads, buttons and more.
