Polish photographer Bartosz Wojczyski took the images over half an hour from his balcony Piekary Iskie, Poland. He spent six hours stitching together separate images to create the final photograph.
Quick and dirt cheap stitching pony we made as a diversion from working with leather only. It's made of a plank of pine wood from the local hardware store, three screws with nuts and a couple of wood screws. Took about an hour to build but it does its job well. A video of making it here . Pattern...
For over a year, Polly stood in silence on a high shelf overlooking the studio's work space. Hour after hour, day after day she saw the same sight - her maker sitting and stitching. Not much action or excitement, to be sure! Then one day she was abruptly grabbed and stripped down to her underwear.…

I've been asked on more than one occasion how far in advance I come up with a design before I release it. My usual response is that I'm an eleventh-hour designer who doesn't realize it's the Christmas stitching season until...
Create some unbreakable snow globes for your tree this season! "Snow" will settle into the base and disappear until ornament is shaken. With the help of felt glue I whipped up all 3 of these in less than an hour. Consider stitching the year on the base before attaching or throwing in some chunky glitter…
There's another embroidery book that I've recently become hooked on, quite unlike the fine embroidery I've been 'churning out' recently. I think embroidery is so appealing to me at the moment because of immediate pleasing effect you get, even just after an hour of stitching. It's a beautiful book. Crisp clean imagery and plenty of…
After I took my crewel work class a few weeks ago, I forced myself to close my computer and work on finishing the stitching on my sampler pattern. Each night, I worked on it for about half an hour instead of randomly flipping between Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. I’m not a person who relaxes very...Read More »

The Stitching Project is dedicated to making fine textile products...we are based in rural India, our style is a little bit ethnic and a lot contemporary. The Stitching Project is a social enterprise; that is a business dedicated to producing quality work, which will contribute to the ambience of the purchasers’ environment whilst contributing fairly to the livelihood of the producers. We are a big bustling team of people working together for the benefit of all here to make lovely things for you there. The Stitching Project produces quality hand worked homewares, garments, quilts and craft supplies and special orders for private customers We now juggle our workshop from Australia a lot of the time- only a zoom call and we are transported to India. In Australia I continue my creative practice via the MAKE Studio. [product_categories number=0 parent=0] New In
My new book, Joyful Stitching, has six free-form embroidery projects with step-by-step directions to create the designs. There is even a section on how to make 21 hand embroidery stitches. But did you know there is one chapter missing from the book? Sadly, the chapter (with the cheerful title Combinations Rock!) was dropped from the book due to lack of space. Combinations Rock! explored the combining of different embroidery stitches to create texture, pattern, and shape on fabric. But fear not! I have a few examples of that missing chapter to show you. The missing chapter, Combinations Rock! , included the merging of embroidery stitches to create texture on fabric. A good example of this texture building is found in the Tasty Apple project in Joyful Stitching. Adjacent rows of blanket stitches create small squares like the green threads above. Each green square is filled in with a red French knot. This is my favorite stitch combination. I love how the bumpy texture created with complementary thread colors really zings. The French knot is famous for its bulky texture. But combine it with the bullion knot, and your thread leaps off the fabric. In Dyed in the Wool, the stitch combination of French and bullion knots give the sheep a curly fleece you just want to pet. Embroidery stitch combinations also create pattern. Repeated stitch motifs or patterns are useful for filling in large background areas like the table in Embroidered Pear. This pattern of embroidery begins with rows of linked cross stitches in blue thread. The blue threads make diamond shapes across the fabric. French knots (in yellow thread) fill in the diamond shapes to complete the pattern. Stitch combinations can also create recognizable shapes like flowers. The spiky yellow blooms in Garden of Flowers are made with five fly stitches placed in a circle with the points facing out. A mound of French knots in turquoise thread fills in each center. Notice how the blue background fabric also plays a role in creating the shape of these sweet little flowers. Like sketching on fabric, combining a few stitches can suggest a simple leaf shape. The leaves lining the Red Belly Bird’s nest are a combination of the fern stitch and straight stitches. Each branch of fern stitches is trimmed around the edge with straight stitches to make an enclosed leaf shape. The fern stitch lends itself to many stitch combinations that you’ll find in the Joyful Stitching projects. It evokes the shape of leaves, climbing vines, or even a bird’s tail feathers. In the Rare Songbird project, three vertical lines of fern stitches are outlined in stem stitches using the same orange thread. French knots, in a light blue thread, fill in the spaces between to make a decorative tail for the bird. I hope these few examples from the lost Combinations Rock! chapter will come in handy and add to your own free-form stitchery arsenal. To learn more about free-form embroidery, please see my book, Joyful Stitching. You will also find the hand-dyed pearl cotton threads used in these examples and free embroidery tutorials on my blog, artfabrik.com. May your combinations always rock!
