Today's video is Part 1 of our April Stitch Along. This month we are going to learn how to make a Slow Stitch Portrait. First up, I'll show you how to Create a Background With Your Favourite Things.
You'll need some tiny scraps of your favourite fabrics, some sewing cotton and either a photo that you are happy to cut up, or a computer with MS Word and a printer.
If you like what you see and want to catch all the videos in this series, you can subscribe to this channel, and if you click the notifications bell, you will never miss an upload.
Join me at 2.30pm GMT every Sunday for a restful time of slow stitch, embroidery and textile art. Each month we are going to create a complete piece of art that we will create bit by bit each week.
Feel free to follow my design, use my piece as inspiration, or you could use the same techniques as me to create something totally original.
I hope to try lots of new things this year as I create my 2024 stitched journal. I hope you will come along for the ride!
Please tag me when you post your creations on social media. @featherstitchhouse and use #fshwingingit24 so that I can see your beautiful work.
