Full description

Discover the stories hidden within ordinary fabrics. Based on part of a four-day residential slow stitching retreat which was held at my creative workshops venue before retiring, this 44-page digital workbook explores how everyday textiles can become meaningful materials for creative stitching and personal storytelling.

From worn clothing and inherited linens to tea towels, household fabrics and treasured scraps, this workbook invites you to look at familiar cloth with fresh eyes. Through stitching, layering and reflection, you'll explore how fabric can hold memories, routines, relationships and traces of everyday life.

Inside you will explore:

- Working with found and everyday textiles

- Clothes, fabrics and wear patterns as personal history

- Domestic cloth and the stories of daily life

- Inherited textiles and family connections

- Repairing fabric with intention and meaning

- Wabi-sabi influences and the beauty of wear

- Creating stitched story pages and textile journals

- Living with textile memories over time

- Reflection prompts and creative exercises throughout

This workbook focuses on observation, memory and personal meaning rather than technical embroidery skills.

Suitable for:

- Slow stitchers

- Textile artists

- Textile journal makers

- Memory keepers

- Lovers of found materials

- Workshop leaders

Format:

- 44-page PDF workbook

- Digital download

- View on screen or print at home

- Suitable for all experience levels

- Please note that this is a digital product - no physical item will be sent.

After purchase you will receive an email with a PDF containing links to download the workbook via WeTransfer or Google Drive.

Please note: This workbook is for personal use and inspiration. Digital files may not be shared, redistributed or resold.

Created from over 40 years of creative workshop experience!
