I hope you enjoy this tutorial showing how you can turn a vintage linen doily with appliqué or any decoration around the outside into a beautiful slow stitch bowl with some blanket, fabric and trim scraps.

An easy project for slow stitch beginners and it’s all done by hand sewing so you don’t need a sewing machine.

A wonderful way to honour beautiful vintage doilies or linens and to create a useful bowl you can use in your craft room for threads or buttons or anything else you want to store of display.

Another idea for Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery and the earlier prompt to create a slow stitch vessel or container or bowl.

I hope you enjoy this fun and easy slow stitch project tutorial.

Cheers,
Christine
