Last year i purchased a Janome Mini sewing machine in the sale, I was inspired by the Great British Sewing Bee, and videos such as this one from Two Peas in a Bucket to add stitching to embellishments on my Project Life layout.
I rarely used stitching in my Project Life layouts last year because of my set up. Once my printer was on the table along with a box of PL cards, embellishments, guillotine and so on, there was little left for my 12×12 album let alone a sewing machine which is stored in a cupboard. Now I have changed to a smaller size, have my Raskog cart and a dedicated table (bye bye husbands junk shelves) I can now use it more regularly.
I have created a mini video to show how I use stitching in my layouts. This is my first tutorial video, so any feedback welcome 🙂

You’ve inspired me to try some stitching … I recently had my Nan’s old sewing machine fixed up but have been too intimidated to actually use it :p

I was exactly the same Stephanie! The machine just sat there, it took a few needle rethreads and some practice with the footer pedal, but now i love it. Glad i have inspired you 🙂

Hi Jess, I am using a canon 5D, my hubby is a photographer so I am lucky to have the kit to hand!
