I’m very much in favour of making the mend visible! A worn patch or small hole can be reinforced and then covered with simple rows of stitching, so the repair becomes part of the design rather than something you’re trying to hide.

If you like the idea of embroidering your own clothes or home textiles but don’t fancy drawing the design first, iron-on transfers make it very easy. Iron the pattern onto smooth, light-coloured fabric and stitch straight over the printed lines. I’ve got a step-by-step guide on the website.

I always like having a small embroidery project ready for the weekend. Everything is already together, so if I get half an hour I can just pick it up and stitch rather than spending the time finding supplies. Are you working on anything this weekend?

One of those tiny sewing things that turns out to be surprisingly useful. A needle minder sits on your fabric and gives you somewhere safe to put your needle when you stop stitching. Much better than putting it down somewhere ‘safe’ and immediately losing it!

Slow stitching is a lovely way to use up little scraps of fabric and thread without worrying too much about the finished result. Just layer a few pieces together and add stitches wherever you fancy. I have a simple tutorial on the website if you’d like to try it.

A little lazy daisy stitch inspiration. It looks fancy, but it’s actually a very simple stitch and perfect for petals and leaves. It’s one of those simple ideas that makes it much easier to fit a little creativity into a busy week.

It may still be August, but I’m definitely starting to notice the first hint of autumn. My Autumn Wildflowers kit has heleniums, seed heads, rose hips and oak leaves, with lots of lovely texture to stitch. It’s a nice next project if you’ve already tried a beginner kit and fancy learning a little more.

One of the nicest things about embroidery is that you really don’t need lots of equipment to begin. A needle, some thread and a piece of fabric will get you started, and once you know a few basic stitches you can make all sorts of things. I’ve got a simple beginner guide on the website if you’d like a bit of help getting going.

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, but there has been plenty of stitching going on behind the scenes! I’m easing back in with some colourful embroidery and lots of new ideas for the months ahead. What are you stitching at the moment?
