So excited to be taking part in my dear friend Sally’s @DottyBeeVintage ​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠stitchalong to create a slow stitch Christmas advent. Sally’s making a slow stitch scroll and I’m making slow stitch bunting that I can hang up to decorate the house at Christmas.

My bunting will take the form of little presents that open up to reveal a slow stitched piece for each of the prompts Sally will be sharing. Such fun!

In this video I show how you can use simple stitching and beading to embellish a scrap fabric collage.

Here’s a link to Sally’s video launching the advent of Christmas Stitchery project:

I’m always so inspired by Sally’s beautiful projects snd stitching. Her style is really special.

Here’s a link to my first video showing how I’m creating my bunting using scraps - a great way to repurpose vintage linens:

I hope you enjoy watching me working on the first Deck the halls, holly and evergreen prompt for my bunting.
