Slow Stitch and Stash Swap Day
What a lovely way to spend a day with others. Bring along your fabric and threads, don't forget your sewing kit, and indulge in some wonder slow stitching!
Or why not work on your PhD - Projects half Done! Maybe bring your machine, or handwork and delve into an unfinished project or start a new one.
Slow stitching is an ancient practice, although the term is relatively new. To slow stitch is to take time to mindfully create something new through stitching with needle and thread. It's also a fantastic way to use up those spare fabrics and old clothes. [https://www.craftschooloz.com/what-is-slowstitching]
Shashiko - Boro - Kawandi - stitched mark making, what ever comes to mind. Running stitch, backstitch, outline stitch, herringbonestitch, overcast stitch, chain stitch, blanket stitch....so many stitches to choose from!
Bring along some of your fabric and join in the STASH SWAP.
