October Challenge 2026

Thirty Haute Couture embroidery techniques. One regular needle. 1 to 30 October.

One technique a day, Monday to Friday. Every lesson is pre-recorded, so there are no live sessions and no fixed hours, and every technique is adapted for someone who has never held a needle.

What is included

• 30 Haute Couture techniques, 22 in the challenge and 8 with lifetime access
• Six months of rewatching after October ends, so falling behind costs you nothing
• HD close-up video, captions and full transcripts, printable patterns
• The private Challengers community, where I answer questions myself
• A full materials list segmented by your region, with variations for anything you cannot find
• The Virtual Tote Bag: Textured Flowers, the Socks Embroidery Masterclass, the Global Materials Source Guide, the Materials Keywords Guide and 5 PDF e-books
• Three Mystery Boxes of materials for the most active challengers, a gift from KLARA Couture Shop

1,900+ students in 40 countries have come through this school, and eighty percent of them arrived with no embroidery experience at all.
