Exquisite Handcrafted Elegance
Featured Products
Traditionally, mellors are used as a laying and guiding tool for metal thread work embroidery. These mellors are made by a jeweller in Birmingham, England. They are silver 925 and are hallmarked and stamped with Helen’s makers mark at the Birmingham Assay Office. They come in a presentation box and are unique to Helen McCook Embroidery.
These beautifully crafted retractable tape measures are hand turned for Helen by a craftsman in the Lake District, England. They are inspired by an antique tape measure which Helen saw when she worked for an auction house. You can gently extend the tape measure by pulling the metal end of the tape and wind it in by turning the wooden acorn stalk.

Your session will last three hours and will take place online.
You may have a project which you know will require more tuition than can be provided in one of our other session lengths. You can book on for a day session (5 taught hours spread out across a six hour window of time to include breaks). This will really give you the chance to get to the heart of your technique issues, consolidate your design ideas and immerse yourself in embroidery. The subject can be discussed with Helen when arranging the date for the class.

Helen is by far and away the quintessential needlework tutor. Her abundant creativity is not limited to design. She is able to bend the stitching to meet the individual needs and abilities of the stitcher to make the stitching experience within the reach of any stitcher. She approaches each day with joyful abandon, infinite patience and giggles. The materials she provides in her kits are all excellent quality with attention to detail.
