Make, Mend & Treasure
I’m very fond of vintage textiles and have so much admiration for how our ancestors put so much care and time into making clothes and home textiles, then mending them as needed and passing on these treasured items.
Free Fish Sampler Embroidery Pattern
To celebrate the launch of my very first Embroidery PDF Patterns now available in my shop, I thought it would be nice to create a special stitchy gift for my newsletter subscribers.
Embroidery Tinting - Adding colour to your embroidery
Embroidery tinting is the name given to the technique of adding additional colour to your embroidered work by using paint, crayons, etc. I have used this method a lot over the years and it is a lovely way to add another dimension to your work and experiment with materials.
Caring Colouring Two
Today I wanted to tell you about a really special project I was lucky to be involved in recently.
Caring Colouring Volume 2, is a charity colouring book created by Jehane Ltd with 100% of the profits going to the Sea Change Project. The Sea Change Project is a collective of scientists, film-makers, journalists and story-tellers who are actively working to save the endangered sea-kelp forests off the coast of Africa.
