Embroider a scene that includes a hairstyle, hats, and textures, using a photo as your initial reference

When it comes to creativity, there are so many possibilities to explore. Loly Ghirardi, better known as Señorita Lylo, continues to experiment and is always looking for innovative ways to tell a story through embroidery. By applying different stitches and combining textures, she embroiders hairstyles that look just like real hair.

In this course, learn various techniques for creating hairstyles that stand out by giving them volume and and adding a unique finish to your embroidery. Using a photo, learn how to add a 3D effect to the textile of your choice.

Teacher Plus
Embroiderer and Graphic Designer

Loly Ghirardi, also known as Señorita Lylo, is an embroiderer and graphic designer based in Barcelona for over 18 years. After graduating from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), she worked on design projects but started to leave aside the digital to give more space to the handmade side of things. That’s how she got hooked on embroidery forever.

Arming herself with the frames, threads, and needles, she creates unique pieces and experiments with different media. Every one of her projects has a conceptual approach and each stitch is accompanied by a story. With time, she got the opportunity to teach everything she knows about embroidery and it is a task that comforts and continues to inspire her more and more every day.
