Slow stitching and creative mending
I purchased another class from Craft school of oz! I was inspired after doing a couple of free classes learning Shashiko stitching and decided to venture more into this meditative method of stitching. I have been re-purposing unsold garments to sell in the op shop instead of sending them to landfill. This made a white ripped pair of shorts into a more interesting piece before I turned it into a bag. For Christmas I enjoyed making some little needle cases, it really is quite meditative to sew random little stitches. I tend to look at descriptions of crafts, and then run with them and make them my own. I love the idea of sashiko stitching, but some of it seems quite rigid. I have been playing around with a few samples, and then thought that would be an ideal way to personalize some of the phone bags I have been thinking of making. I didnt have a washable marker, so marked out a sort of grid with my tailors chalk....
