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

Her Majesty's Coronation Train (1937) .. see it being embroidered.
I thought in this the year that Her Majesty the Queen turns 90 that it would be lovely to celebrate it on here too. So I found this little film of her Coronation Train being embroidered at the Royal School of Needlework.
It is a great piece of stitching history ..... I hope you enjoy it.
Have a look at the work that went into it and all the ladies who worked on this exquisite embroidery.
Have a great weekend and Happy Stitching.
