When I need to wind down, I turn to hand-stitching. I have really been getting into this #slowstitchingmovement. I have a hard time just stitching a piece of fabric that doesn't have a functional purpose in the end, so I tend to make bags and embellish them this way. Perhaps, being able to stitch without purpose is next on the list of things for me to work on, but for now, I enjoy making the bags.
This bag is kzstevens' Modern Japanese Rice Pouch. I enjoy that the patchiness of it is built into the pattern. And I loved playing with a bit of sashiko on the burlap portion.
My love of slow stitching, and bag-making, means I'm super excited to introduce two guest instructors:
