Work small, use up the smallest scraps of fabric and create a mini Swan floating in the Water! Stitch along with me as I create the swan using a template and add layers of slow stitching. I discuss choosing floss colours, strategies to add depth and much more. Loads of texture and colour is created with simple stitches. In this piece I use Straight Stitches, Blanket Stitch, and what I call the Wandering Stitch. Relax and join me! #slowstitching
