A delicate monogram hand sewn in fine silks has long been seen as the height of sartorial sophistication. A traditional emblem of style on a gentlemen’s shirt or a gift that will be cherished forever, a monogram makes it personal. For over 100 years Savile Row tailors have been sending their shirts to Hand & Lock to monogram. The desire to add initials has since expanded to pyjamas, bath robes, wedding gifts, wallets, slippers, gloves, hats and more. Join us for 6 special weeks of Creative Monogramming learning this beautiful artform from our expert embroidery tutors.

Techniques & Breakdown

Throughout this course, you will learn the fundamentals of starting an embroidery project, setting up embroidery frames and laying the foundation for your couture creations. You will go on to discover the meticulous process of transferring intricate designs onto luxurious fabrics, employing the refined prick and pounce method to ensure precision. You will be guided through the creation of personalised monograms and infuse your own unique flair. Immerse yourself in the finesse of crafting handwritten phrases and elaborate lettering, transcending mere stitches to evoke emotion and narrative through every stroke. Within this immersive chapter, you will find the freedom to source your own materials, should you aspire to infuse your signature style into independent projects. Your personal hand monogramming style will flourish under the watchful eye of our expert mentors, ensuring your creative vision harmonises seamlessly with the techniques you've mastered.
