SLOW STITCHING – AUTUMN TEXTURES
A CREATIVE REUSE WORKSHOP
Join Isabella to explore the concept of slow stitching by making a decorative piece of textile art using fabric, stitch and embellishment.The theme this time is Autumn Textures.
It’s well known that creative hobbies can be good for your sense of wellbeing, not just for the satisfaction of making something yourself but also because of the calming effects of the process of making.
You will discover how to use the process of making as meditation and a calming time, to enjoy the colours and textures of the fabrics and threads as well as the rhythm of the stitching itself.
The resulting piece can be enjoyed as is, or turned into a decorative item such as a cushion applique or framed picture.
All materials, threads and embellishments are supplied.
Suitable for adults. Perfect for beginners. Refreshments are included, for when you need a little break. Spaces are limited so early booking is advised.
ABOUT ISABELLA
I joined the MADE team almost at the beginning and completely by accident. I came in to help set up a window display and stayed. My main creative love is for all things textile, sewing first but also knitting, weaving and hand spinning. I made all my own clothes and home furnishings and ran a fabric shop for home dressmakers in Edinburgh. I also love vintage sewing machines, the iconic old black ones that granny once owned. I have my own collection of these and have refurbished and restored many more. Through my business, Sew Vintage, I make and sell upcycled cashmere accessories and other household items such as cushions, aprons and tote bags, all from upcycled and vintage textiles and sold exclusively at MADE.
