Haute Couture embroidery is a rare craft, but learning it shouldn’t be impossible.

The world of Haute Couture embroidery is captivating, but learning it often feels out of reach.

High-quality, in-person training is scarce and comes with high costs—not just for tuition, but also for travel and accommodations. Unlike sewing, Haute Couture embroidery is not widely taught, making access to expert instruction even more challenging.

Parisian embroidery schools uphold the highest standards of excellence, and I’ve trained at the very best. Through years of practice and refinement, I’ve mastered the techniques of French Haute Couture embroidery, allowing me to offer you a high-quality learning experience through these online courses, without the barriers of traditional training.

You only need one requirement to get started: be willing to try.

With my background as a university teacher and aerospace engineer, I’ve designed a structured, step-by-step learning experience that anticipates and solves every challenge before it even arises. My online courses ensure a smooth, frustration-free learning journey, where each technique is introduced at exactly the right moment, making progress effortless.

It’s like having a private instructor guiding you—except you can learn at your own pace, from anywhere in the world. Everything you need is provided, and every step is designed to set you up for success.

No more obstacles, guesswork, or lack of confidence—just your imagination, your willingness to try and the joy of creation.

Let's Embroider Together

I’m Laura S. Urbina, a graduate in French Haute Couture tambour embroidery from the prestigious École Lesage (Paris) and Studio Eyral.

Before dedicating myself fully to embroidery, I earned a PhD in aerospace engineering and worked as a university lecturer. Precision, problem-solving, and structured learning techniques have always been at the core of my work—and now, they shape the way I teach this delicate art, making it clear, accessible, and truly transformative.

Given my background, the digital world has always been second nature to me, which greatly enhances the clarity and precision of the designs you’ll learn to embroider.

That’s the heart of these embroidery programs: a thoughtfully structured learning experience designed for your success.

It’s not just about learning the embroidery techniques—it’s about experiencing the joy and empowerment that come with learning something unique.

Step into a world of creativity and precision—and let’s embroider something extraordinary together.

Absolutely! In fact, I created these designs while preparing for my own hand embroidery exam in France. Like you, I needed to practice specific techniques—again and again—until I mastered them. These resources are designed to help you do the same.

If you’re preparing for an embroidery exam, make the most of your training:

Online Embroidery Courses – Perfect if you’re an absolute beginner and need a structured learning path.
Embroidery Video Tutorials – Ideal if you’re familiar with the techniques but still want guided practice.
Embroidery Patterns – Best for confident embroiderers who prefer to work independently.

With dedicated practice, you’ll be well-prepared to excel in your exam!

Each embroidery project is designed for a specific experience level:

The Online Embroidery Courses and Embroidery Video Tutorials, created for beginners, provide video guidance and step-by-step instructions to help you work independently.
The Embroidery Patterns are meant for more experienced embroiderers who already know the stitches used in each pattern. Before purchasing an embroidery pattern, please ensure you’re familiar with the techniques involved. If you’re not, I recommend starting with the corresponding Embroidery Video Tutorial, where you’ll be guided step by step through the project.

If you encounter any difficulties along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss your challenge and I’ll offer tips and solutions to help you move forward, whether through a phone or video call.

Absolutely! I can either digitize an existing design* or create a brand new one for you on request.
