Stitch magazine  |  October/November 2020
From the glorious riot of autumnal colour to the warmth and glow of Christmas, you’ll find everything you need to celebrate the changing seasons in the latest issue of Stitch.
Set the scene by wrapping yourself up in an autumn picnic from Sila Gur. It’s a beautifully detailed moment captured in thread. Fellow needle-painter Jessica Devin offers an amazing tutorial that stitch-by-stitch becomes a fully fledged robin. Definitely one to keep you occupied during the longer evenings!
Then there’s a charming goldwork snowman to build without getting your hands cold! Or you can set the scene for memorable festive merrymaking with a stunning velvet and gold table runner. For a change of pace, take things easy with some fun tree decorations. They patch those special bits of nothing from your stash with touches of Boro, Sashiko and Kantha. It’s stitching to soothe the soul!
If you fancy trying something new, then head back to the classroom for a physics lesson. Embroidery tackles electrical circuits to shine the light on smart textiles. Learn how to fuse with traditional techniques to create a brilliant bauble. It’s illuminating!
There’s also an in-depth masterclass to polish up your goldwork skills. Plus, plenty of inspiration from textile artists taking embellishment to the next level. Pretty little beads and sparkly sequins shine a spotlight on bigger issues around celebrity culture, conservation and sustainability. Eclectic, exceptional and exciting!
It’s a jam-packed issue designed to take your embroidery to the next level.
Keep stitching!
