That is lovely, and I also love the idea of an exchange. I have some crafting buddies to I think I’ll bounce that off them. We do yarn, knitting etc exchanges but cloths would be fun. I wish I knew some paper crafters near me, because god only knows I have things to exchange (give a way really). I have a rule now, (should have enforced it many many years ago) if hubby or I bring something in, something goes out. It’s helped in our closets immensely. Love the slow stitching, Have a great week
one thing in....one thing out sandi...keeps things a bit better under control for this girl...lol....and i gave most of my art supplies away when we relocated to costa rica...it was hard...and it was necessary sandi...that has allowed room for the slow stitching and the palm baskets....i know you get it! i used to have clothing exchanges in california...so much fun! stay in touch sandi!
LM, what a glorious little stitched vest! It looks like you! I just adore your idea, of simply stitching over what patterns are already there. How cool, indeed. Not to mention, this is the very first time I'd ever heard of a clothing exchange. Brilliant idea! Thanks Tootsie.
hey hey toots....a clothing exchange...what a great way to get a new wardrobe and to purge out things we do not need! thank you so much for popping in my dear friend....xo
i have worn it with my patched jeans...what a fun combo ishka...and...i am so proud of you for all your planning for your class ishka! touch as many people as you can with your painted hands!!!! go create, go play, go have fun!
Great how much interest this added to the patterned cloth, such a good idea, love it. PS Happy that you feel free to be at the table again with this version of LM as an artist
I absolutely love your vest! It is so beautiful! I am going to be on the lookout for one. I am having a lot of fun with slow stitching. So far, I have just made purses and a needle book. I think a clothing exchange would be so much fun!
oh my gosh sdeforest...maybe you need to initiate a clothing exchange...i have overalls and jeans that are patched and patched and patched...some slow stitch and some machine stitched...i have a sewing machine here with me...but the slow stitching is so darn much fun! thank you for checking in sdeforest! go create, go play, go have fun!
Love it! ❤ Actually was sitting here trying to think of a slow stitching to start and couldn't make up my mind which one to do. I knew I wanted a wearable one..then your video posted. Thank you for sharing always love your videos. It so happens I have a vest I picked up from resale store years ago. It happens to be patched. Fun, fun, fun to come!
well whyrocha....lucky us...and we are going to have matching (sort of) slow stitched vests...hours of fun with slow stitch! go create, go play, go have fun!!!
So wonderful to see you. ❤ Love hearing the sounds of nature and birds when you’re working on your patio. Your slow stitching is gorgeous. I’ve been an admirer of sashiko and this seems like a more free style version that I might be able to try. I greatly admire your brave spirit being able to make such a huge move to a new nation. Love that you are learning Spanish. I looked up Selva Organica- it looks delightful. Best wishes for your continued success and joyful travels. ❤
Fabulous!, but did it become a bit smaller with the slow stitching? I know when I’ve done rows of machine stitching on fabric it has shrunk the size of the piece. Just curious if hand stitching does the same thing.
i have experienced that too gay! the slow stitch on this vest did not effect the size...although i could use it a bit smaller...lol! i think the size was not changed because the slow stitches are not that tight...what a great question tho gay! thank you...go create, go play, go have fun!
