Stitching the Garden: Make a Floral Bag
The Serge Hill Project Garden
Join textile designer and repair artist Marina Balashova of The Fabric Folk in The Apple House for a slow stitching workshop inspired by the colours, textures and plant forms of Tom Stuart-Smith’s Plant Library of over 2000 perennials and bulbs.
In this relaxed, mindful session, participants will explore the meditative rhythm of traditional Japanese sashiko stitching while creating a beautifully hand-stitched crossbody bag. Drawing inspiration from the shapes and patterns found in nature, the workshop invites you to translate botanical forms into stitch through a process of quiet observation and creative making.
Working with a carefully curated selection of reclaimed textiles — including Liberty prints — participants will compose their own botanical fabric collage using techniques inspired by boro, the historic Japanese practice of layering and repairing cloth and leave with a hand-stitched bag plus the skills and inspiration to carry on at home.
