Learn one simple technique...

...and use it in any SlowStitching project!

I receive more requests on how to make my 'blobby flowers' than any other of my  slowstitching techniques... so here it is... a mini class on how to make these simple and effective embellishments! On their own or grouped together, nestled in amongst other foraged treasures or worked en masse... you'll use this technique over and over again.

I'll demonstrate the technique, give you some advice on which fabrics work best and show you some examples of where I've included them in my slowstitched pieces.

You'll also receive two patterns to download - 'Pansies and Hollyhocks' and 'Hydrangea Trough' - so you can start making your next beautiful project right away!

Your slow stitching guide

Slow stitcher and forager Lisa Mattock

I am lucky to have a very creative Mum who loves all things patchwork, and who instilled in me from an early age the thrill of finding 'treasures' at fetes and garage sales. I spent my early childhood marinating in her eclectic, colorful influence. It was Mum’s enthusiasm and encouragement that first led me to explore my love for textiles - a lifetime addiction to 'reclaimed goodies' has ensued. I have gathered expertise in many creative pursuits as a florist, food stylist, and visual merchandiser, which culminated in owning an upmarket florist and homewares store, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs for many years. These experiences, combined with my long-standing passions for vintage fabrics, recycling, and simple stitching made creating my business, called 'Forage', a natural evolution. It’s a place I can share my passion for discovering and collecting fabrics and embellishments from near and far, both reclaimed/vintage and brand new from our favourite quilt stores. Welcome! I look forward to sharing all that inspires and delights me. Lisa, xx

    Thank you Lisa, I have been so very inspired by the Forage School, just fantastic and easy to follow along. I can’t wait for the next online and future series… feeling confident to do Nanna’s beautiful heirlooms justice.

    "I can't wait for the next class, this is just what we need through lockdown. It's the perfect reason to just sit and enjoy. Lessons are informative and easy to follow (especially as you can watch as often as needed) New to this style of stitching but definitely a convert, thanks."
