I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and watch you a couple times a day! I’ve learned so much and admire how you start with nothing and add bits and pieces to make something wonderful! Thanks for sharing❤
Don't you love finding a bit of ribbon or lace that you have had for years and it is the perfect thing for right now? Love your attitude. You bring some sunshine into my day.
Your videos are easy to watch and learn from as you keep it simple. When you make people feel as though you are sitting across from them explaining what you're doing, it's a sign that you're doing it right!
I'm so pleased Linda. Thank you for the positive feedback. I did feel a bit awkward filming whilst I stitched. It's the first time I've done it, so I'm sure I'll get better at arranging everything.
I agree with the no music. Your explanations are very to the point but explain just enough. The pauses are just right as well letting the information sink in before you move on. 825 subscribers in a month you definetly are doing it right!!!🥰
I could watch your channel all day…. So calming and inspiring….. The book is absolutely adorable. I love what you did with the purple flowers, so simple and so pretty. I was also intrigued by your iron 😂 I’ve never seem one that raises to up when laid flat….. genius
Marion - thank you sooo much for that step by step video on making that beautiful book! I am a visual learner and I definitely learned a lot - your directions were succinct and that makes it easy to understand. You have a natural artistic eye and it is evident in your work. Looking forward to Part 2.
I have spent entire days watching your videos, because all of it is so enjoyable and many of the comments I have read are true about you and your method of delivery and your talents are unlimited. There is always something to learn and inspire us and we are so blessed by our discovery of your channel. Thank you so much!
Good evening Marion , thank you for a beautiful step by step instructions on a cover. It definitely makes me want to give it a go , I have learnt alot and all ready looking forward to the next stage. Have a delightful evening , kind regards Teresa xx
🤔 interesting...when you started I couldn't see where you were going, but the cover turned out nicer than I thought.😅looking forward to your progress, the bird is quite 👍 good, you are creative🎉
Wow Marion that was brilliant. I love your book cover and enjoyed watching and listening to you as you very clearly explained everything. I’m off to watch part 2 right now ❤️
I really appreciate you sharing your talent! The book cover is beautiful. I can certainly see why the bondaweb is vital to the process. That looks a much better finish than I’ve been getting with glue, can’t wait to give it a go.
Thanks Poppy. It's silk and came to me as scrap fabric as it had a big piece cut out of the front. I cut the sleeves short and used one sleeve to patch in the front. I still have part of the other sleeve left. I'm always using it for bits and pieces 😅
I have only recently found your channel and I am so glad that I have! You are so talented. Your work, what I have seen of it so far, is stunning, beautiful. ❤👍from Somerset
So many clever tips and tricks and your book cover turned out beautifully. Thank you Marian. Now, if you will excuse me - I'm off to attempt my own little masterpiece! 😁
Beautiful cover! I really like your idea of placing a layer of felt under your cover fabric. I think the difference between slow stitching and embroidery is that slow stitching doesn’t really follow a pattern. I like the easy going method of slow stitching and lack of expectations. Whatever you call it stitching with gorgeous threads on scrumptious fabrics is a joy! Hugs and blessings, 🤗🇨🇦❤️
Hello Marian thankyou for your company once again I love your videos and your calm manour its so relaxing watching you enjoy your crafting whilst teaching us as you go ❤❤THANKYOU SO MUCH From Eileen in Suffolk
Thank you Marion, I only found your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge watching. I have learnt so much from you already and I love the style of your videos, nice and relaxed and you explain everything so well that I feel that I could do it too. The first video I watched was the flip through of your previous book and I thought how amazing that was and that I can never make that but the style you’ve done on the covers of this one I believe I can have a go at. I’ve had an inktense set for a while and had no clue how to use them so thanks for that as well. I’m excited again to try things. Thanks so much. 🪡
Thank you so much Dawn, and welcome to my channel. I think a lot of people just don't know quite what to do with Inktense, unless you're more of a paper crafter. Then, of course, it's just like pencils and paint. There didn't seem much online to look at when I first got mine at the beginning of the year, but I soon found a good way of using them. I hope you will have a go. I'll maybe be making pages for that little book next week, so watch out for a lovely way to do that coming up.
Hi, Marion! I don’t remember if I told you where I’m coming from. I live in central Wisconsin USA. We have 22+ acres of old pasture land and woods. It’s mostly peaceful. It’s just past midnight. I can hear a barred owl. “Who cooks for you” is the cadence of its call. I’ll often hear whippoorwills and sometimes coyotes at night. Yesterday afternoon I heard the cry of a hawk or, perhaps, a bald eagle. Well, I really enjoyed your video. It’s very relaxing watching you create. Those willowy stems and flowers look very dreamy. You’re very good at filming. I don’t think you can go wrong because you’re so gosh durn earnest, tho filming your work right side round would be a plus. Now on to page 1. 💜
How wonderful Mara! I love to hear about where you are... it's so different from where I am. I'm going to have to look up a whippoorwill call now! I hear tawny owls here and there are skylarks, which have a beautiful call. But there aren't any coyotes or eagles......! I didn't think I was very good at filming at all. It's all very new to me. But I thought that there's no point in pretending to be something else. You just have to be yourself, so what you see is what I'm like day to day. I feel I've got a curious mind...and that keeps you striving to do more and to learn more. Everything is so interesting!!!
@@marionsworld24 I’m the same. Always curious. If I don’t know something, I look it up, just as my parents told me to do. The internet is a marvelous encyclopedia. I read a lot about David Bowie last night after watching my favorite artist paint his portrait. What an amazing person (Bowie)! He was curious too, and inventive.
Found your channel from K3n. Wow she was not kidding. You are soooo wonderful to watch so I am busy catching up and learning. Thank you for sharing. 🧵🪡💖
Oh my, what a lovely book this is going to be. I need to get some leaf ribbon on a spool and try this. I just love this, it is so beautiful. I have a big piece of box I saved and I know what I’m going to use it for the book. I actually have bonda web. This will be my project for this week to make. I am so excited to try this. Now I need to find the second part to watch. And if it runs out I do have Instagram but will have to get my granddaughter to show me how to post a picture and how to share it with you with those hashtags. I have only used it to look at what others make for ideas. This will be so much fun. Thank you Marion for this tutorial! ❤
Brillant Marion, Your video's are so iispiring I just want to make everything, so I'm off to have a rummage in my material box etc to see if I can find anything to use and start making this book, thankyou so much I hope you continue your wonderful video's for eon's ❤ blessing Veronica 😊
Omg I love your iron. It has its own elevator!!! 😮😮😂😂❤ That front cover turned out amazing. It’s a wonder when free flow is applied. Thank you for sharing that tutorial it was very well put together and I think you’re doing a great job ....and soooo easy to learn off you. I really love that you use anything you get your hands on coz so do I. You have some great tips with what you use too. Just a side note....I am going to try find bond-a- web coz our local (big store) fabric shop didn’t even know what appliqué paper was and gave me something else that was reeeeaaaallly difficult to sew or embroider through. Love that book. I’m going to do it like that (which Id done years ago and completely forgotten) so thanks for the reminder of the easy way to do it! 😁😁🌈🌈🥰🥰
I absolutely love my iron! It's amazing... Bondaweb might be called Wunda Under or Vlieseline wherever you are. You could also ask for double sided fabric adhesive.
Hi Marion, it’s just fascinating watching you do the book 🙂. I’ve never made a stitched book before and I was wondering why you used cardboard instead of something that could maybe withstand washing if it ever needed it? Thanks for everything you are showing us at the moment, I’m really looking forward to sewing along with you 😊👍🏻
I just don't think that I'd ever be washing it. I suppose it could be sponged if it got marked. From my point of view fabric books take so much work that I think of them as precious and feel I don't put them in messy situations! It's a good point though. My bird book will be fully fabric, but again I don't think I'd ever actually wash it. I'd be worried that some of the old fabrics wouldn't hold their colour. I'll have a ponder on it though...
@@marionsworld24 You are right, some of the vintage stuff may not take kindly to being washed. I guess you could use something like plastic mesh or even the lid of an ice cream container but using plastic for something so precious doesn’t seem right! Some of the foam-type interfacings might work 🤔
Hello Christine. You definitely can do it that way. But I didn't. I always use the colours direct from the blocks and make up a coloured water on the tin lid or the little water bits on the palette. Then I pick up the dyed water and brush it on iin the same way as I showed on the video. The only difference being that I would have some white cotton sheet underneath the lace to collect the excess dye and get a bonus piece of dyed fabric whilst I'm doing the lace. Hope that helps you. If I remember I'll add it into a future video.
Ooh... welcome to my channel Kelly. Whereabouts are you in the North East? I hope you are enjoying whatever you're stitching on. Embroidery is such a lovely, colourful world to be starting into....
I love your tutorials. Embroidery has always been my first love. Could you share how you save your bits? Even pieces of fabric that have Bond-a-web on them. I have the same leaf trim. 🪡
Hello Marion, just thought you would like to know that I use Steph Frances threads , she has a lot of textured threads and other textures to sew with. You might already know about her, just thought I mention her. Steph Frances uk . X
Yes I do buy from her. She was one of the people who is usually at the stitching show. I like to buy from the show as you can see everything in real life... But I was told she's probably not doing shows anymore. Also the other person not there was Oliver Twists. They're good too.
Hi Marion! My mom introduced me to your channel and I am watching all your videos from the beginning. They are so lovely and you are so creative and talented! I am wondering, was the purple fabric you used for the flowers from the same shirt you’re wearing in the video? If so, what a fun Easter egg! Seeing how you find the beauty in everything, even small scraps of fabric, is inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing your creations and knowledge ❤
😅 Yes it is... It's a charity shop silk blouse that had been in my stash for years. One side of the front was badly damaged. I just decided to repair it by using the sleeves to replace the damaged bit and making it short sleeved instead. Nobody ever notices where I sewed the big patch on..and I got the rest of the silk to craft with.... Win, win😅
I think this is so creative as always. it's beautiful. I was just wondering what your jacket you have on looks like the colors I can see are very pretty
It's a silk blouse that I re crafted from a damaged one that had been in my Mam's fabric stash. The purple colour is so pretty that I cut the long sleeves off and used them to patch up the front till it was wearable.☺️
Marion, in many videos you use intense to dye fabric or threads. What is intense , is it a color dye or brusho powders ? This has puzzled me for a while. :)
Inktense are made by Derwent. It's water soluble ink that is colourfast once dry. They were made for paper originally but they work so well on fabric.. .www.derwentart.com/en-gb/p/2300442/professional-products/watersoluble/inktense-blocks/derwent-inktense-12-blocks-tin
It's called Bondaweb over here in the UK. It's by Vleiseline. You might also see it called WundaUnda. It's description is a paper backed fusible web of glue. Hope that helps you find it. I would think most haberdashers would have it..🤞
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and watch you a couple times a day! I’ve learned so much and admire how you start with nothing and add bits and pieces to make something wonderful! Thanks for sharing❤
Crikey Patti..... I think you'd be sick of seeing me fiddle on.....
Just beautiful!❤
It was incredible to watch you do this with such simple processes that anyone can do -it is gorgeous. Thank you so much.❤
Don't you love finding a bit of ribbon or lace that you have had for years and it is the perfect thing for right now? Love your attitude. You bring some sunshine into my day.

Thank you Teresa..
Thank you, I like the way you are filming. It was easy to follow, and I could see everything you were doing. 😊
I found a lot of beautiful pink and green fabric while thrifting over the weekend. I think I’ll go with those 2 colors and maybe do a garden theme 😊
That sounds beautiful. ..
Lovely to watch you work, Marion. I have started a hand stitched book project to stitch along with you and the Marion's World Community.
Ooh... that's lovely Sue. I hope I get to see what you are doing...
So beautiful! Thank you Marion. I might add some small hexagon flowers to the cover of mine. You are a wonderful teacher ❤
That sounds lovely. Little hexies would work so well... Thank you so much for the compliment too.
your artistry is AMAZING. Thank you so much for your inspirational ideas and your wonderful way of delivering your knowledge
Great video! Your color choices and knowledge of embroidery is so evident in your work.
I like your style!! Very lovely book
Beautiful and great way of making a book cover, thanks for sharing x
Wow! You can turn 2 pieces of cardboard into something so beautiful!!! Thank you! Love the colors of Inktense and the book looks so nice!

I absolutely love your channel. I now have convinced myself to buy Intense blocks so I can dye fabrics like you have done.
Oh my goodness Barbara.... you're going to love using them!
I'm planning on doing the same 🙂

Oh Marion I have started a book too but I have started with one of the pages, will that matter? Yours is lovely :-)
Of course it doesn't matter! You can do whatever you want in any order. It's your book in the end. What is your theme going to be?
Such lovely calming videos Marion. Did you dissolve your Inktense in water to dye your lace? Such beautiful work.
Hello Christine. You definitely can do it that way. But I didn't. I always use the colours direct from the blocks and make up a coloured water on the tin lid or the little water bits on the palette. Then I pick up the dyed water and brush it on iin the same way as I showed on the video.

Hi Marion! My mom introduced me to your channel and I am watching all your videos from the beginning. They are so lovely and you are so creative and talented!

Seeing how you find the beauty in everything, even small scraps of fabric, is inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing your creations and knowledge ❤
😅 Yes it is... It's a charity shop silk blouse that had been in my stash for years. One side of the front was badly damaged. I just decided to repair it by using the sleeves to replace the damaged bit and making it short sleeved instead. Nobody ever notices where I sewed the big patch on..and I got the rest of the silk to craft with.... Win, win😅

it appears that you did this episode in 2 times the long sleeve has a vine leaf print on it with orange flower @marionsworld24
Marion, in many videos you use intense to dye fabric or threads. What is intense , is it a color dye or brusho powders ? This has puzzled me for a while. :)
Inktense are made by Derwent. It's water soluble ink that is colourfast once dry. They were made for paper originally but they work so well on fabric..

What is the bonding paper called? I would like to buy some to use for my books.
It's called Bondaweb over here in the UK.
It's by Vleiseline. You might also see it called WundaUnda. It's description is a paper backed fusible web of glue. Hope that helps you find it. I would think most haberdashers would have it..🤞
