Slow Stitching Tiny Nature Fabric Scroll #slowstitching

Welcome! My name is Jo. Join me in Slow Stitching a Fabric Scroll inspired by Birds, Animals and Nature. This is the first of a multi-part workshop where we create the background fabric (2 1/2 inches wide and 28 inches long), trace the animal shapes, add tiny pieces of fabric collage, and begin stitching the animals. The stitching of the Heron is covered in detail in the second half of this video. There are lots of tips and ideas for creating your own scroll. This project is perfect for recycling or repurposing clothing or bed sheets too. So jump in and get started, and join me for the next part where the scroll is embellished even more!
