DESIGNED BY LENNA GREEN
COTTAGE GARDEN PURSE
It was from these visits that my love for making things grew My mother is also
a very keen knitter and encouraged my creating from a very early age despite
the mess and half finished projects everywhere
I started my own website business Stitching Cow after coming to the realization
that life should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heart A
challenge is something that I have always enjoyed and I had a burning desire to
build a business from scratch Following my passion and creative streak seemed
to be the logical choice for the business Itrsquos thrilling to see an idea become a
reality and to watch my business grow Each day I learn something new it
makes life very interesting I also love working from home because it allows me
to work around family activities and suits my lifestyle
Concentrating my efforts on mastering new technology has enabled me to
connect and provide a service to people from all over the world The Internet
has definitely made the world a smaller place and each day I am reminded how
wonderful this is
I get a real buzz from meeting like minded people who are passionate about
sewing Itrsquos a wonderful feeling when I can inspire a fellow sewer with a new
design or teach them a new skill It gives me a sense of achievement to know
that I have inspired them or helped them learn something that could benefit
them with their craft for years to come Itrsquos all about sharing and helping
people thatrsquos what is really important
ldquoLife should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heartrdquo
Designer Profile Therersquos a tremendous amount of
enjoyment and relaxation that can be
gained from sewing and craft
particularly during the evenings when
the household is winding down from
the dayrsquos activities It has always been
an important part of my life
Irsquom very much in love with the process
of creating something new and Irsquom
often busy sketching an idea that has
popped into my head
My hands like to be busy and I rarely
watch TV without working on
something
I love creating so much that it seemed
natural to make it my full time job
This allows me to stitch and sew
whenever I please
My grandmother was very artistic and
crafty and thankfully she lived around
the corner from me during my
childhood This meant that I could visit
her often She was always making or
painting something and she loved to
set me up by her side with paintbrush
crocheting hook or needle in hand I
still have the very first dollrsquos apron I
made with her

Video Demonstration How to work a perfect French knot
One of the hand embroidery stitches used in the Cottage Garden Purse is a French knot
Once mastered this versatile stitch can be used for a variety of different affects In the featured project this stitch is worked in a cluster of three to form a spray of dainty flowers Watch over my
shoulder as I demonstrate how to work a perfect French knot
Handy Hint
If your need to tug the needle through the fabric when working a French knot this indicates that your needle size is too small in relation to your thread thickness

Book Review Scandinavian Needlecraft
Clare Youngs

Natural fibres are one of my favourite materials to work with especially

find beautiful needlework on felt wool and linen The projects are
practical pretty and functional and make great handmade gifts I love the
wool felt mittens and the felt baby bootsmdashgreat gifts and so much fun to
make and embroider

A compulsive maker I have been making objects in a variety of media for many years Originally I trained as a potter at
Camberwell College of Arts London Not having a kiln I started to make pieces using papier mache but for the last 8
years I have been consistently making felt Surface decoration is my passion and I love the variety of techniques which
can be achieved using the simple wool roving

COTTAGE GARDEN PURSE
It was from these visits that my love for making things grew My mother is also
a very keen knitter and encouraged my creating from a very early age despite
the mess and half finished projects everywhere
I started my own website business Stitching Cow after coming to the realization
that life should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heart A
challenge is something that I have always enjoyed and I had a burning desire to
build a business from scratch Following my passion and creative streak seemed
to be the logical choice for the business Itrsquos thrilling to see an idea become a
reality and to watch my business grow Each day I learn something new it
makes life very interesting I also love working from home because it allows me
to work around family activities and suits my lifestyle
Concentrating my efforts on mastering new technology has enabled me to
connect and provide a service to people from all over the world The Internet
has definitely made the world a smaller place and each day I am reminded how
wonderful this is
I get a real buzz from meeting like minded people who are passionate about
sewing Itrsquos a wonderful feeling when I can inspire a fellow sewer with a new
design or teach them a new skill It gives me a sense of achievement to know
that I have inspired them or helped them learn something that could benefit
them with their craft for years to come Itrsquos all about sharing and helping
people thatrsquos what is really important
ldquoLife should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heartrdquo
Designer Profile Therersquos a tremendous amount of
enjoyment and relaxation that can be
gained from sewing and craft
particularly during the evenings when
the household is winding down from
the dayrsquos activities It has always been
an important part of my life
Irsquom very much in love with the process
of creating something new and Irsquom
often busy sketching an idea that has
popped into my head
My hands like to be busy and I rarely
watch TV without working on
something
I love creating so much that it seemed
natural to make it my full time job
This allows me to stitch and sew
whenever I please
My grandmother was very artistic and
crafty and thankfully she lived around
the corner from me during my
childhood This meant that I could visit
her often She was always making or
painting something and she loved to
set me up by her side with paintbrush
crocheting hook or needle in hand I
still have the very first dollrsquos apron I

DESIGNED BY LENNA GREEN
COTTAGE GARDEN PURSE
It was from these visits that my love for making things grew My mother is also
a very keen knitter and encouraged my creating from a very early age despite
the mess and half finished projects everywhere
I started my own website business Stitching Cow after coming to the realization
that life should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heart A
challenge is something that I have always enjoyed and I had a burning desire to
build a business from scratch Following my passion and creative streak seemed
to be the logical choice for the business Itrsquos thrilling to see an idea become a
reality and to watch my business grow Each day I learn something new it
makes life very interesting I also love working from home because it allows me
to work around family activities and suits my lifestyle
Concentrating my efforts on mastering new technology has enabled me to
connect and provide a service to people from all over the world The Internet
has definitely made the world a smaller place and each day I am reminded how
wonderful this is
I get a real buzz from meeting like minded people who are passionate about
sewing Itrsquos a wonderful feeling when I can inspire a fellow sewer with a new
design or teach them a new skill It gives me a sense of achievement to know
that I have inspired them or helped them learn something that could benefit
them with their craft for years to come Itrsquos all about sharing and helping
people thatrsquos what is really important
ldquoLife should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heartrdquo
Designer Profile Therersquos a tremendous amount of
enjoyment and relaxation that can be
gained from sewing and craft
particularly during the evenings when
the household is winding down from
the dayrsquos activities It has always been
an important part of my life
Irsquom very much in love with the process
of creating something new and Irsquom
often busy sketching an idea that has
popped into my head
My hands like to be busy and I rarely
watch TV without working on
something
I love creating so much that it seemed
natural to make it my full time job
This allows me to stitch and sew
whenever I please
My grandmother was very artistic and
crafty and thankfully she lived around
the corner from me during my
childhood This meant that I could visit
her often She was always making or
painting something and she loved to
set me up by her side with paintbrush
crocheting hook or needle in hand I
still have the very first dollrsquos apron I
made with her

DESIGNED BY LENNA GREEN
COTTAGE GARDEN PURSE
It was from these visits that my love for making things grew My mother is also
a very keen knitter and encouraged my creating from a very early age despite
the mess and half finished projects everywhere
I started my own website business Stitching Cow after coming to the realization
that life should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heart A
challenge is something that I have always enjoyed and I had a burning desire to
build a business from scratch Following my passion and creative streak seemed
to be the logical choice for the business Itrsquos thrilling to see an idea become a
reality and to watch my business grow Each day I learn something new it
makes life very interesting I also love working from home because it allows me
to work around family activities and suits my lifestyle
Concentrating my efforts on mastering new technology has enabled me to
connect and provide a service to people from all over the world The Internet
has definitely made the world a smaller place and each day I am reminded how
wonderful this is
I get a real buzz from meeting like minded people who are passionate about
sewing Itrsquos a wonderful feeling when I can inspire a fellow sewer with a new
design or teach them a new skill It gives me a sense of achievement to know
that I have inspired them or helped them learn something that could benefit
them with their craft for years to come Itrsquos all about sharing and helping
people thatrsquos what is really important
ldquoLife should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heartrdquo
Designer Profile Therersquos a tremendous amount of
enjoyment and relaxation that can be
gained from sewing and craft
particularly during the evenings when
the household is winding down from
the dayrsquos activities It has always been
an important part of my life
Irsquom very much in love with the process
of creating something new and Irsquom
often busy sketching an idea that has
popped into my head
My hands like to be busy and I rarely
watch TV without working on
something
I love creating so much that it seemed
natural to make it my full time job
This allows me to stitch and sew
whenever I please
My grandmother was very artistic and
crafty and thankfully she lived around
the corner from me during my
childhood This meant that I could visit
her often She was always making or
painting something and she loved to
set me up by her side with paintbrush
crocheting hook or needle in hand I
still have the very first dollrsquos apron I
made with her

Video Demonstration How to work a perfect French knot
One of the hand embroidery stitches used in the Cottage Garden Purse is a French knot
Once mastered this versatile stitch can be used for a variety of different affects In the featured project this stitch is worked in a cluster of three to form a spray of dainty flowers Watch over my
shoulder as I demonstrate how to work a perfect French knot
Handy Hint
If your need to tug the needle through the fabric when working a French knot this indicates that your needle size is too small in relation to your thread thickness

Step into my garden Step in and youll see
A measure of peace And tranquility
Its the scent of the blossoms The buzz of the bees
The sweet song of birds As they sing in the trees
Author Unknown
DESIGNED BY LENNA GREEN
COTTAGE GARDEN PURSE
It was from these visits that my love for making things grew My mother is also
a very keen knitter and encouraged my creating from a very early age despite
the mess and half finished projects everywhere
I started my own website business Stitching Cow after coming to the realization
that life should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heart A
challenge is something that I have always enjoyed and I had a burning desire to
build a business from scratch Following my passion and creative streak seemed
to be the logical choice for the business Itrsquos thrilling to see an idea become a
reality and to watch my business grow Each day I learn something new it
makes life very interesting I also love working from home because it allows me
to work around family activities and suits my lifestyle
Concentrating my efforts on mastering new technology has enabled me to
connect and provide a service to people from all over the world The Internet
has definitely made the world a smaller place and each day I am reminded how
wonderful this is
I get a real buzz from meeting like minded people who are passionate about
sewing Itrsquos a wonderful feeling when I can inspire a fellow sewer with a new
design or teach them a new skill It gives me a sense of achievement to know
that I have inspired them or helped them learn something that could benefit
them with their craft for years to come Itrsquos all about sharing and helping
people thatrsquos what is really important
ldquoLife should be about following your dreams and whatrsquos in your heartrdquo
Designer Profile Therersquos a tremendous amount of
enjoyment and relaxation that can be
gained from sewing and craft
particularly during the evenings when
the household is winding down from
the dayrsquos activities It has always been
an important part of my life
Irsquom very much in love with the process
of creating something new and Irsquom
often busy sketching an idea that has
popped into my head
My hands like to be busy and I rarely
watch TV without working on
something
I love creating so much that it seemed
natural to make it my full time job
This allows me to stitch and sew
whenever I please
My grandmother was very artistic and
crafty and thankfully she lived around
the corner from me during my
childhood This meant that I could visit
her often She was always making or
painting something and she loved to
set me up by her side with paintbrush
crocheting hook or needle in hand I
still have the very first dollrsquos apron I
made with her

Video Demonstration How to work a perfect French knot
One of the hand embroidery stitches used in the Cottage Garden Purse is a French knot
Once mastered this versatile stitch can be used for a variety of different affects In the featured project this stitch is worked in a cluster of three to form a spray of dainty flowers Watch over my
shoulder as I demonstrate how to work a perfect French knot
Handy Hint
If your need to tug the needle through the fabric when working a French knot this indicates that your needle size is too small in relation to your thread thickness

Finding Inspiration The garden has long been a rich source of inspiration
for those who love to create
For centuries all kinds of gardens and flowers have been depicted from the exquisite to the more humble Whether
your passion is hand embroidery crochet knitting or sewing you will find a design that is reminiscent of the garden
Designer Judy Newman once wrote ldquoGardening and embroidery seem to go together they both require an investment
in time and patience but the rewards are great and include the pleasure of watching something beautiful growrdquo
When next you take a stroll in the garden let your imagination stir Enjoy all that nature has to offer and let it guide you
in your own creative pursuits
Requirements List

NB a frac14rdquo seam allowance has been used throughout this project
Step 1 ~ Use the template provided and cut a 4frac12rdquo circle from the two fabrics you

Finding Inspiration The garden has long been a rich source of inspiration
for those who love to create
For centuries all kinds of gardens and flowers have been depicted from the exquisite to the more humble Whether
your passion is hand embroidery crochet knitting or sewing you will find a design that is reminiscent of the garden
Designer Judy Newman once wrote ldquoGardening and embroidery seem to go together they both require an investment
in time and patience but the rewards are great and include the pleasure of watching something beautiful growrdquo
When next you take a stroll in the garden let your imagination stir Enjoy all that nature has to offer and let it guide you
in your own creative pursuits

Book Review Scandinavian Needlecraft
Clare Youngs
Five chapters of beautifully presently needlecraft projects includes projects for bags gifts and decorations the kitchen clothes and accessories and soft furnishings
Step by step instructions and stitch guides for each project with all the information required to complete these classic and contemporary projects
Natural fibres are one of my favourite materials to work with especially

find beautiful needlework on felt wool and linen The projects are
practical pretty and functional and make great handmade gifts I love the
wool felt mittens and the felt baby bootsmdashgreat gifts and so much fun to
make and embroider

A compulsive maker I have been making objects in a variety of media for many years Originally I trained as a potter at
Camberwell College of Arts London Not having a kiln I started to make pieces using papier mache but for the last 8
years I have been consistently making felt Surface decoration is my passion and I love the variety of techniques which
can be achieved using the simple wool roving

For centuries all kinds of gardens and flowers have been depicted from the exquisite to the more humble Whether
your passion is hand embroidery crochet knitting or sewing you will find a design that is reminiscent of the garden
Designer Judy Newman once wrote ldquoGardening and embroidery seem to go together they both require an investment
in time and patience but the rewards are great and include the pleasure of watching something beautiful growrdquo
When next you take a stroll in the garden let your imagination stir Enjoy all that nature has to offer and let it guide you
in your own creative pursuits

Book Review Scandinavian Needlecraft
Clare Youngs
Five chapters of beautifully presently needlecraft projects includes projects for bags gifts and decorations the kitchen clothes and accessories and soft furnishings
Step by step instructions and stitch guides for each project with all the information required to complete these classic and contemporary projects
Natural fibres are one of my favourite materials to work with especially

find beautiful needlework on felt wool and linen The projects are
practical pretty and functional and make great handmade gifts I love the
wool felt mittens and the felt baby bootsmdashgreat gifts and so much fun to
make and embroider

A compulsive maker I have been making objects in a variety of media for many years Originally I trained as a potter at
Camberwell College of Arts London Not having a kiln I started to make pieces using papier mache but for the last 8
years I have been consistently making felt Surface decoration is my passion and I love the variety of techniques which
can be achieved using the simple wool roving

Video Demonstration How to work a perfect French knot
One of the hand embroidery stitches used in the Cottage Garden Purse is a French knot
Once mastered this versatile stitch can be used for a variety of different affects In the featured project this stitch is worked in a cluster of three to form a spray of dainty flowers Watch over my
shoulder as I demonstrate how to work a perfect French knot

Video Demonstration How to work a perfect French knot
One of the hand embroidery stitches used in the Cottage Garden Purse is a French knot
Once mastered this versatile stitch can be used for a variety of different affects In the featured project this stitch is worked in a cluster of three to form a spray of dainty flowers Watch over my
shoulder as I demonstrate how to work a perfect French knot
Handy Hint
If your need to tug the needle through the fabric when working a French knot this indicates that your needle size is too small in relation to your thread thickness

Finding Inspiration The garden has long been a rich source of inspiration
for those who love to create
For centuries all kinds of gardens and flowers have been depicted from the exquisite to the more humble Whether
your passion is hand embroidery crochet knitting or sewing you will find a design that is reminiscent of the garden
Designer Judy Newman once wrote ldquoGardening and embroidery seem to go together they both require an investment
in time and patience but the rewards are great and include the pleasure of watching something beautiful growrdquo
When next you take a stroll in the garden let your imagination stir Enjoy all that nature has to offer and let it guide you
in your own creative pursuits
Requirements List
Two 5rdquo (13cm) squares of fabric one dark one light
Marking pen

Step 1 ~ Use the template provided and cut a 4frac12rdquo circle from the two fabrics you

use a blunt tool (a chopstick works well) to push out the seams Iron then fold in the

Book Review Scandinavian Needlecraft
Clare Youngs
Five chapters of beautifully presently needlecraft projects includes projects for bags gifts and decorations the kitchen clothes and accessories and soft furnishings
Step by step instructions and stitch guides for each project with all the information required to complete these classic and contemporary projects
Natural fibres are one of my favourite materials to work with especially
felt so when I came across Scandinavian Needlecraft I was so excited to
find beautiful needlework on felt wool and linen The projects are
practical pretty and functional and make great handmade gifts I love the
wool felt mittens and the felt baby bootsmdashgreat gifts and so much fun to
make and embroider
Tap here to read more about this book
A compulsive maker I have been making objects in a variety of media for many years Originally I trained as a potter at
Camberwell College of Arts London Not having a kiln I started to make pieces using papier mache but for the last 8
years I have been consistently making felt Surface decoration is my passion and I love the variety of techniques which
can be achieved using the simple wool roving

NB a frac14rdquo seam allowance has been used throughout this project
Step 1 ~ Use the template provided and cut a 4frac12rdquo circle from the two fabrics you

contrast
With the right sides together sew around the two fabrics leaving a small opening to

use a blunt tool (a chopstick works well) to push out the seams Iron then fold in the
seam allowance and use a small invisible stitch to close the opening

Step 3 ~ Starting in the centre bring a matching thread up through the centre from
the back and pick up a few threads of fabric Sew back down into the centre then up

marks Work three stitches to catch the fabric then fold and catch the edge to the
centre and secure Continue in this manner catching all edge markings
Turn the pleats to reveal the fabric inside You may have to adjust these so they are all
sitting the same With your thread still connected at the centre sew a small feature
button or bead to complete the front
Turn the brooch over to attach a pin and your brooch is complete
As an alternative you can attach a folded metal hair clip or centre a hair tie to the
back

Book Review Scandinavian Needlecraft
Clare Youngs
Five chapters of beautifully presently needlecraft projects includes projects for bags gifts and decorations the kitchen clothes and accessories and soft furnishings
Step by step instructions and stitch guides for each project with all the information required to complete these classic and contemporary projects
Natural fibres are one of my favourite materials to work with especially
felt so when I came across Scandinavian Needlecraft I was so excited to
find beautiful needlework on felt wool and linen The projects are
practical pretty and functional and make great handmade gifts I love the
wool felt mittens and the felt baby bootsmdashgreat gifts and so much fun to
make and embroider
Tap here to read more about this book
A compulsive maker I have been making objects in a variety of media for many years Originally I trained as a potter at
Camberwell College of Arts London Not having a kiln I started to make pieces using papier mache but for the last 8
years I have been consistently making felt Surface decoration is my passion and I love the variety of techniques which
can be achieved using the simple wool roving
