Join me for this easy beginner project as I collage small fabric scraps, stitch into them and then turn this into a useful trifold pouch to hold your treasures or give as a gift.

This project is inspired by past makes and my lovely friend Sally from ​⁠@DottyBeeVintage who has recently shared lovely videos showing how she uses her fabric scraps to create gorgeous pieces: like the video below which provided an introduction to slow stitch and how to use scraps in slow stitching:

Also always inspired by the creations of my dear friends Kristy @SewbitsKristy Paula @Craftaartissaurus and Annie @artyfartyannie

If you’re curious about the stitch along project I mentioned where we are creating a slow stitch hexi mat for our craft room or studio, 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:

I’m so excited to share this beginner friendly slow stitch project with you and this wonderful slow stitching community.

Cheers,
Christine
