Welcome to a slow stitcher and vintage lovers blog where all things are possible and whimsical. Creating is in my soul and so is treasure hunting for gorgeous old fabrics, buttons, linens & threads. There is something about truffling at vintage fairs for beautiful haberdashery and fabric. I adore the seasons, the hygge & cosy of Winter, the awakening of Spring, the changes of colours and crunching of leaves in Autumn and the bees, butterflies and ocean sounds of Summer. Enjoy XX

Time to do more vegetable dying next week.....
Good Morning all
Well having spent some wonderful days so far thinking of new designs for next year, I have come to the conclusion I would like to hand dye a few more bits of my precious vintage French linen.
I am thinking like a beautiful duck egg colour so I am researching what I can get these results with. I may have to go foraging in the New Forest near us for some plant life or see if I can buy a plant to do this.....
I really would like to do some butterflies with embroidery for a sampler and really believe that with some shear vintage linen dyed and embroidered it will look life like and beautiful....
I can see the colour in my head and have mixed it with water colour paint to see that it can be possible. I really need three of me and four would be nice..... although not sure my husband would agree!!! If I did not have to sleep I may get lots more done...
Slightly lighter like the eggs above but with a colour that will show white embroidery.
Have a wonderful day and Happy Stitching!
