Here are some pictures from my recent trip around a couple of folk festivals. I love to collect pictures of the Morris costumes - particularly when they are English Paper Pieced. The video is of Mike and I with a group of people we had been teaching ov

Just finished! English Paper Pieced with a fleece backing folded to the front to form the binding. I used a fancy stitch on my sewing machine through the layers to emphasise the stripes. The hand stitching keeps me sane when I am away from home!

I've been AWOL for a few days - Mike and I have been playing at a folk festival. The long picture is our ukulele band playing on stage - they are nearly all people we have taught, many of them couldn't play before Friday! There may be a video at some st

I hestitated where to put this because it is embroidered by hand! The photograph was printed in draft quality onto cotton fabric which had been treated with Bubble Jet 2000 and ironed onto freezer paper. I then doodled with a needle and thread to give

UPDATED I hope this explains the truly secret secret sister project! Everyone who took part sent me an embroidered square and a print square and I put them together for our Dennis. It was delivered today and here he is with it. I've j

TIP. How many times have you carefully put a ribbon into an ITH felt item and then cut it off at the last stage? I came up with a plan today. I stitched the placement outline on tear away stabiliser and then added the ribbons. I covered that with anoth

My Facebook group "Engineered in Stitches" now has over 1200 members and has raised over £1000 for the charity. Not bad in 6 months! I know a lot of people don't want to have anything to do with Facebook. Actually, I am one of you! I never post or

SECRET SISTER UPDATE! It is really difficult to do this without letting the cat out of the bag, but I'll do my best. (The Secret Sister project this time really is a secret!) So the international postal systems have been busy and contributions have

Using up the tiniest scraps of fabric. My daughter gave me a small bag of the scraps of ice-dyed material she had left over from a project. I cut hexagons out as far as possible but was left with this tiny fragments. I spritzed a piece of fabric with temp

Advice needed please. My skip rotary cutting blade has arrived from China and I've tried it out. If I use it on fleece fabric, I can pull the fabric apart very easily along the perforations. Those of you who have used one, please share what you have lear

Another crochet fiddle mat. I'm really pleased with this one but a bit concerned because I've been warned that some care homes do not like them done in treble crochet stitches. (Doubles in US.) The centre of this one was a rectangle I folded in half to
