Sustainable Sewing :: Scraps Patchwork
Organic shapes, shells, leaves and flowers can be used to create embroidery templates for slow sewing. Adding to your walk to find shapes that inspire you.
In your square of fabric 15x15cm draw around the shape using a Frixion pen, stitch the edge of the outline (wobbly is great to help organic shapes blend into the background). Fill the edges with sashiko seed stitch, leaving a 2.5cm edge on all sides, your finished square will be 10x10cm.
