Join me to turn your orts or leftover threads into a beautiful slow stitch heart brooch, keyring or embellishment for your slow stitching projects. #slowstitching

I’ll be using one on my hexi for our stitch along project and one as a brooch which also happens to be the prompt from #roxysjournalofstitchery so this may give you some ideas if taking part in that project.

Everyone is welcome to participate in our hexi mat stitch along and this project is beginner friendly for those new to slow stitching.

Here’s a link to the playlist for this stitch along where you can find the videos numbered so you can catch up in order:
