Thrifty Thursday slow stitch vintage haul from Alpine Victoria #thriftythursday #slowstitching Create and craft with Christine 2025-08-28 | This was a Thrifty Thursday video I made last week while in Alpine Victoria which is such a beautiful and peaceful part of the world. I could have never anticipated the events of this week in Porepunkah and send my thoughts out to the Emergency Services, families and communities impacted by the senseless shooting. I honour those who serve on behalf of the community and hold all those continuing to serve in protection of the community in my thoughts. We returned from Bright last weekend before the events unfolded. A week ago I was walking along the river at Porepunkah with Travers enjoying the winter sun, the fresh crisp air and the calm of a flowing river. It is such a special place and it always will be. The actions of one individual will not prevail over beauty, kindness and community. ChristineCreate and craft with Christine

Slow stitch @k3n.clothtales community quilt @lovecraftwithkas #slowstitch scrap ideas Create and craft with Christine 2025-08-09 | Sharing this slow stitching square I created for the slow stitch quilt that has now been gifted to @k3n.clothtales A wonderful community project where people around the world have stitched squares and sent them to Kas@lovecraftwithkas who has stitched them into a beautiful slow stitch quilt for K3n. #slowstitching Thank you so very much Kas for all your work and for creating this beautiful gift for Kathryn. Please note I filmed and uploaded this video 9 months ago when I created the square. Kas has changed their first name during this time so the first name I have used for them in the video is no longer correct. Their first name is Kas. You are amazing Kas! My slow stitch square features May Gibbs gumnut babies and a bee. I wanted to create something that had an Australia influence and I remember K3n commented on an earlier project where I was working with similar fabric to make a slow stitch hexagon fabric vessel. Here’s a link to the May Gibbs website: maygibbs.orgCheers,ChristineCreate and craft with Christine

Pt2 Scrap fabric ideas: trifold pouch from scrap fabric #slowstitching #scrapfabric #scrapideas Create and craft with Christine 2025-07-16 | Join me as I show you how you can use simple stitches and mark making to embellish a trifold fabric pouch made from scrap fabric. I share my own approach that creates a fully finished and reversible trifold pouch from two slow stitched collage pieces. In the first part of this series I shared an idea for making scrap fabric lollies that will make your fabric scraps look really attractive on display and easy to use. In this video I also showed how you can collage scrap fabrics onto a base piece of quilt, wool blanket, felt or an old towel to create a cohesive piece of fabric to use in a trifold pouch.

Make fabric from paper | Japanese Momigami | Exciting new project #slowstitching #upcycling Create and craft with Christine 2025-07-05 | In this video I show you how you can turn paper into fabric that you can use for embroidery or slow stitching. The method that I am sharing is called Momigami or Japanese paper kneading. It’s relaxing to do and a great way to create a new medium for stitching into. I’m also sharing the first of what will be a series of textile art and slow stitching pieces celebrating the history of Melbourne where I live. I’m using old street directory pages as my base and then stitching imagery or words to capture history. This first piece celebrates the Skipping Girl neon sign known as Audrey. Here’s a link to the page I am referring to in the video: museumoflost.com/skipping-girl-vinegarI hope this video inspires you to give Momigami a go and try slow stitching or stitching into it.

Scrap fabric Bojagi patchwork sail boat | Hand stitched Pojagi #scrapideas #slowstitching Create and craft with Christine 2025-07-01 | In this video I share how I am using the Bojagi or Pojagi patchwork liberty fabric piece to create the sails for a textile art sail boat for an upcoming art exhibition. In the video I show how I have put the sail boat together and how I’m working on the wake behind the sail boat using threads and some trim. This follows from the previous video in this series where I introduced you to Bojagi or Pojagi patchwork which is a traditional Korean textile art used to make a reuseable wrapping cloth. It’s a fantastic technique as you end up with a patchwork with fully finished seams where the front and back both look beautiful. #slowstitching In the previous video I demonstrated the SSamsol Jogakbo or flat felled seam technique using hand stitching which is perfect for our slow stitching projects. Here’s a link to the previous video: Beginners Bojagi patchwork | Hand stitched Pojagi | fabric scraps #slowstitching #scrapideasyoutu.be/eXgHwZ8npz8I am using Liberty and Yuwa fabrics for this piece and the light shines though showing the hand stitched seams as though they are windows.Here’s a link to Annie from who I saw demonstrating bojagi a while ago which inspired me to have a go: @artyfartyannie And be sure to visit my dear friends Sally @DottyBeeVintage and Kristy @SewbitsKristy I hope you have a wonderful week of slow stitching and creativity ahead of you.

Weaving fabric scraps & new slow stitch ideas | Incognito Art Show Sold! #slowstitching #scrapfabric Create and craft with Christine 2025-06-16 | In this video I share how you can weave together canvas and fabric scraps to make an intriguing and visually interesting fabric background you can use for slow stitching. I share ideas for slow stitching working on the surface of the piece after laying down foundation stitches. #slowstitching #fabricscraps #textileart This piece is inspired by Monet and his beautiful gardens at Giverny in France which feature beautiful ponds filled with water lilies and arching bridges. I really enjoyed experimenting with a new approach to slow stitching and have lots of ideas for how I would like to adapt this approach to other textile art works. This piece was donated to the Incognito Art Show which featured over 22,000 art works for sale to support artists with disabilities. Such a great cause and I was delighted to discover my art work sold! Hoping I get to hear from whoever purchased it (we provide our details on the back of the work so it can be seen once someone purchases it).

Coral reef textile art | Fleur Woods inspired | tutorial #slowstitching #textileart Create and craft with Christine 2025-05-24 | In this video I show how to create a vibrant coral reef textile art work using hand dyed and repurposed textiles. The ideas I share will allow you to create your own beautiful coral reef for either a large scale piece or a small brooch sized coral reef. You’ll be amazed how many pieces you might have in your scraps that you can use for this fun slow stitching and textile and fibre art project. I will also be gifting a coral reef brooch pack to a lucky viewer - details in my video. I’m inspired by the Nature’s Textures workshop I did with Fleur Woods a year and a bit ago at the beautiful Green Door Studios. In this piece I am using my own techniques to create lots of texture, vibrant colour and interest. It’s great fun taking an idea and then evolving your own creative practice.

Make a chatelaine thimble keep & secret pocket | slow stitch mini dress #slowstitching #scrapideas Create and craft with Christine 2025-05-18 | In this video I show how you can make a thimble holder and secret pocket inspired by the 1800s Victorian chatelaines that were treasures of the women of that era. My idea uses felt and vintage braids to create a decorative miniature gown or dress that holds a thimble and has an extra pocket in which you can keep something like a piece of ric rac or thread.I was inspired in part by Cathe Holden and her little jackets and clothes she creates using slow stitching and embroidery, featuring vintage trims abs embellishments. My chatelaine will be a slow stitching treasure to be loved and worn with pride.
