- Join me as I start a new project.
Using a vintage jewellery box drawer, I design my stitchery to put inside using linens, textiles, and other items to make a mixed media art assemblage story box.
I now have a Facebook group where we can share all things slow stitch. I’d love to see your projects too.

Your story box is going to be adorable. I think it can also be called a diorama. That's what we called them when I was in school. Looking forward to seeing it finished!
That was the word I was looking for! Thank you 🌼🌼🌼
I adore your stitchery with the butterfly and that sewing box…😊
Thanks Kristy 🌸🌸🌸
I’d keep the feet as they are and the pink thimble for a flower pot . TFS Sally xxxx
Thanks Pat 🌸🌸🌸
Inspiration for me first thing Monday morning!❤
Thanks - enjoy your day! 🌸
Looking forward to seeing the next part to see how you do your butterfly , looks good what you have done so far xx
Thanks so much 🌸
This is so sweet Sally it is looking great love the colours. Hugs Susanna 😄♥️🪡🧵
Thanks so much Susanna 🌸🌸🌸
Such sweet little scenes - you’ve given me an idea for some of my little tins. Cheers, Christine
Ooh I can’t wait to see what you come up with Christine 🌼🌼
My vote is for green feet - it will reinforce your garden theme I think? Lovely cheery scene you are creating 😊
I’m thinking green too! Thanks Cathy 🌸🌸🌸
Hi Sally. These little boxes are adorable. Great idea. I think I like the vintage spools for the feet. I think they will look perfect painted yellow. The thimble is perfect for a flower vase. Hugs 🙂❤️
Thanks so much Linda 🌸🌸🌸
So pretty! Kathleen
Thanks so much Kathleen 🌸
Hi, the little thread spool that opens from bottom is for storing needles. :)
That’s what I was thinking too, but the one I have has a hole so the needles will fall through. I will check some others to see if they are different - thanks for letting me know 🌼🌼🌼
Great idea.,reminds me of old song. How many flowers grow, in an English country garden? We use to sing this at school. X
Oh that song brings back so many childhood memories, I had to learn to play it for a school show - I am so not musical, it was torture haha 🌼🌼🌼
Adorable 😍I think I prefer yellow feet. Two vintage cotton spools would be pretty for feet or for a pot(so many ideas in my head😅)TFS ❤❤❤
Thanks Giusi, that would look good too! Ideas for the next one 🌼🌼🌼
Yellow feet and green blue yellow pot.
Thanks Kristy 🌸
I believe they are called "shadow boxes" or "Shadow box art".
Thanks so much 🌸
I think green feet would be nice 😊. I love this little box, so very cute and such a great idea! Did you use acrylic paint for the yellow on the box? Also, did you find your little flower or did you cut another? If you did cut another I think the original may be stuck to the underside of your Roxy’s journal of stitchery wall hanging…. A fun video which actually made me pick up my needle and stitch along with you. Thanks for sharing Sally! ❤
Elly, you are amazing, I’ve just unhooked the Roxy project from the wall and the flower is there! Haha
The yellow I’ve used is an interior satin water based paint for wood & metal, but I’ve used acrylic for the feet - they are now painted and glued on. I think acrylic would be fine to use on the whole thing too. I use whatever I’ve got around if the colour is right.
So glad you were inspired to stitch too - have a good day - Sally 🌸
Sally question did you mention pony needles? I've found some online, but many varieties what's a great slow stitch size please 🙏
Hi Denny, my go to needles are chenille no. 22 (for thicker threads) and a cotton darner no. 5 (for the thinner threads and most beads), the make I’ve got is John James and I’m very happy with them. Hope this helps - Sally 🌸
@@DottyBeeVintage thankyou keep up the lovely work
Sally, how do you do the typing on the fabric? Is it printed off the computer or do you put it directly in an old typewriter?
Hi Nan, I use an old typewriter directly onto cloth, when I do part 2, I will film it so you can see 🌸
@@DottyBeeVintagethat would be great Sally, I have a old typewriter too.
