- Join me as I embellish an easy slow stitching trifold pouch or trifold envelope with 2 lined pockets, scrappy fabric exterior featuring toile and French versaille print, plus thread painted rose feature on the interior.
I share how I approach the task pf embellishing slow stitch projects and also how I thread paint with Appleton wool.
This project is part of Roxy’s journal of Stitchery volume 5 #roxysjournalofstitchery
With big thanks to the Roxy creations ladies @roxycreations679 and @roxycreationsbysarah for hosting this wonderful project and allowing us each to put our own spin on the project.
And here’s a link to the Colour Inspirations project which I mention in this video. It’s being hosted by @artyfartyannie and here’s her playlist: • Colour Inspiration Jou...

Yes please Christine! I would love to see more of you creating your pouch. It really is coming together beautifully.

Beautiful !!! Love all the fabric and creativity !!! Thanks so much for sharing 🧵🪡♥️
Many thanks lovely Lisa 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
My fingers are beginning to feel like a pin cushion Christine, beautiful pouch ❤
Haha Karen - it’s why I can’t wait to get the pins out of the fabric as soon as possible. If only I could use those friendly quilt clips for everything 😂 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Oh it's coming out so beautiful with those exquisite embellishments, especially the beaded , gem pieces 😍 And I love the thread painting, I should try that. Thank you Christine ❤
Definitely give thread painting a try - it is so relaxing. Thanks for watching 💙🧵🪡
This is looking so very pretty!
Thanks Cathie 🤗
Is coming along beautifully. Love the lining.
Thanks Martha - a fun project for sure! Have fun creating yours. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Yes,Christine, it has cooled down a bit! Now,I'm worried for the stitchery swap to you,it is late,I think...hope it will arrive!! The pouch is so beautiful, love everything you put on it! The rose panel is gorgeous together with that fabric lining. Wow! TFS ❤
Glad it’s a bit cooler now Giusi. I hear Rachel saying it is grey where she is. I am very sure the swap will get here - I’m still waiting for one to get to the UK - probably the post Christine delay. Cheers, Christine
Hi Christine, love the thread painting, it certainly gives dimension to the flowers
Best wishes, Lyn.
Thanks Lynn - the wool adds a lovely effect. Happy stitching. Cheers, Christine
Thanks for doing some thread painting. It helps to hear you say that it looks bad at first. I just need to stick with the job.
Hi Kim - definitely stitck with it and it usually comes out well! Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
A fabulous watch…….. ❤️many thanks much love!!
Hello dear Ellie - I miss the evening chats with you lovely ladies - hope all is good in your world 💛 cheers, Christine
This is just utterly gorgeous Christine, what a beautiful way to showcase all these lovely pieces of fabric, love it! :)
ps thank you for the lovely shout-out xo
Thanks Annie - I love that I’m able to explore your Colour Inspirations project as part of this pouch too 🤗 cheers, Christine
Such beautiful work, Christine and always inspiring! ❤❤❤
Many thanks Carol - a joy to create 🤗 cheers, Christine
Lovely work once again Christine ❤
Thank you dear Joanne - I’ve been happily stitching on the embellishments this evening - it’s lovely as the thread melds them into the pieces. Happy stitching. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Such a lovely combination of fabrics, so pretty! 😊
Thanks so much Leanne - loving the colour palette on this one - planning to continue it through to my Colour inspirations play assignment for this week 🤗 cheers, Christine
Looking wonderful, all your accents are beautiful (sorry embellishments) aww so much pretty beaded lace. Love the tread painting, I love doing this so relaxing, discovered this when I did squares the first time GBLSS only did birds bit unsure about flowers so throughly enjoyed how you explained this thank you learnt so much. Yep definitely going to do a nice pouch that will be smaller than yours for when I do the squares, will be wonderful to have a little pouch envelope to keep my project in. Have a lovely day sigh gardening, yep need to get in and do some it’s just so hot outside, me I’m a fall spring person, love these times oh well shouldn’t grumble. Thanks for a lovely watch.
Hi Paula 🤗 I actually like the word accent as that’s what these pieces do. It really is so relaxing to thread paint and is a type of painting it seems I can do 😂 I’m a spring and Autumn loved as well - at least in terms of being out and doing physical activity on the garden - I was red as a tomato after yesterday’s exertions (not burnt, just overheated 🫣) cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Christine it's looking fabulous!
Thanks Kim - hope you’re doing well, miss you all! 💛
@createandcraftwithchristine yes, I'm doing well and hope that y'all are as well. Has Alex had his procedure yet?
He goes in for it next week. Will be good when it is done, then some recovery time. 💛
I'd like to pray for him, and his doctors, on the day. Would you let me know what day and time so that I can pray and my sweet laughing ladies(my Sunday school)
Beautiful! But I find myself going oh no, not that or oh wow, that’s awesome. lol. By the time you are finished I’m almost thinking it’s mine. ❤❤❤ I’m just learning slow stitch and loving it.
Oh I love that Wendy - thank you so much for crafting along with me 💙🧵🪡
It’s a month later that I’m watching and in Canada it’s winter winding down. The temperature is +3 Celsius and kind of foggy cloudy and a perfect day to craft! I volunteer in a thrift shop so I rescue many little bits that are heading for the bin!
Love that it is the perfect weather there for crafting and also that you rescue pre loved goodies too 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Love the thread painting Christine. You have some really beautiful fabrics. It’s a lovely pouch. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you - I do love thread painting and it’s fun to audition and play with lovely embellishments 🤗
Most delightful fabrics 😀👍 and the rose is so pretty
Thank you so very much Lizzie - am loving working on this one 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Well my new friend :) Christine
How did u begin stitching 🧵 :))
I learnt cross stitch really enjoyable
I’ve long enjoyed hand stitching - whether making little felt animals or Christmas decorations and now slow stitching in all its guises 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Such beautiful fabrics annd trims!
Many thanks Sarma - happy stitching. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much. I hope you’re enjoying creating too. Cheers, Christine
Its really beautiful. Would like you to show us the light colored curved pieces of the rose . Thank you .Tineke
Thanks Tineke - I’ll be sure to share the lighter curved section thread painting in my next Roxy video for you 🤗 cheers, Christine
Thank you Christine for showing the thread painting. I’ve done some but learned so much more watching you, eg. The anchoring and couching. Will you be doing any on the leaves? I’d love to see that. ❤️
Thanks so much Liz for watching and commenting. I’ll be sure to share some more thread painting including the leaves in my next Roxy video. Cheers, Christine
❤❤ Love how you rearranged the embellishments.😊😊 I kept talking to you on if it looked good or grab next piece or different placement. 😅😅😊😊 Would love to see you finish more of the thread painting for inspiration. You explain it so that the stitches you do are to create certain effects on the flower. 😊😊
Question? Most of the ladies I've seen doing this are using felt for the base to put their fabrics on and give body and support for their stitches. Couldn't I do the same thing using quilt batting? The felt I've seen in the USA isn't the kind I would want to use a project being washed. I'm sure I could just checking if you've done it or seen others use it. Thank you for all your inspiration on this project as I will be starting mine next week. 😊😊
Thanks so much for watching anc commenting - I’m so happy you were working out layout of the embellishments alongside me. You can most definitely use quilt batting for your pouch - I’m just using felt as that’s what I have available. Happy stitching 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
This is so beautiful. Can you share the dimensions of the pieces of the felt that you started with. I am new to slow stitching and am working on a small pouch now but want to do another larger one and do some lace/doily pockets in the inside-got that idea from Corrine.
Thanks so much - the felt was approximately 52cm by 30cm. Happy stitching. Cheers, Christine
