Some gentle hand stitching. Multiple patches overlapping stitched with running stitch and a sort of stab stitch to secure all the edges. Very mindful and creative, taking the stitches for wanders across the patches. #handstitched #handstitching #patches #patchwork #layers #visiblemending #embellishingjeans #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #therapeutic

What better way to start the week than some slow hand stitching whilst catching up with `Great Pottery Throwdown`. I`m working on a pair of jeans for a very special chap, adding layers of patches with running stitch and stab stitched edges inspired by Japanese Boro. Thoroughly enjoyable! #lovestitch #boroinspired #patching #patchwork #handstitched #myhappyplace #mondaymorning #cottonperle #patchworkofinstagram #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

Here`s a selection of my most recent hexagon flowers. They are the perfect introduction to template patchwork and if you fancy learning this mindful handstitched technique you can join me @rhsbridgewater on Saturday 22nd March. For details go to the RHS Bridgewater website or find the link on mine, Christine Green Crafts. This is my first visit to these beautiful gardens and I am so looking forward to it. #hexagons #hexis #patchwork #templatepatchwork #rhsbridgewater #workshop #learnsomethingnew #joinme #mindful #therapeutic #creative #handstitching #handmade #loveteaching #craftworkshop #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

Had a lovely time at @witneyu3a yesterday, talking all things paper cutting and then demonstrating my particular technique and using my camera for a long time so that everyone could see what I was doing. And thankfully it all worked beautifully! If you`d like me to come and talk to your group do drop me a line. #witneyu3a #witney #talk #demonstration #papercut #techworked #messageme #Igivetalks #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

What a fine way to start the day! The arrival of a much anticipated parcel from the very lovely @roderick752 , Roderick Kiracofe. A stunning patchwork panel, it`s not quilted or backed.

Just relaxing with my ongoing ever growing hexagon quilt. Hit Tesco and M and S last night at 9pm which turned out to be an excellent idea with customers outnumbered by staff restocking the shelves. #handstitched #handmade #handstitchedpatchwork #patchwork #wip #happyplace #relaxing #therapeutic #hexagon #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

Just a bit of highly visible mending, hexagon style. One of my favourite dresses, a rare full price purchase from @toast mysteriously developed a couple of holes, not rips but proper holes! Once I had stopped cussing I got my needle and thread and fabrics out and started stitching. #visiblemending #hexagons #hexis #handstitched #mendit #christinegreencrafts #patchwork #craftingatthecottage

This is our advent calendar this year. Made by my daughter @jessiebgreen. She trawled through our extensive archive and assembled some our favourite photos and hid them behind hand drawn doors. Such a lovely surprise. Hand made gifts really are the best! #adventcalendar #handmade #handdrawn #archive #archivephoto #christmascrafts #lovethis #jbgreen #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

This is a Christmas card designed by dad back in the 60`s. He was a graphic designer and wonderful illustrator with a lovely sense of humour. #christmascard #illustration #dad #reindeer #humour #vintage #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #witty

These peg dolls have been coming out every Christmas for over fifty years! Mum made them for me and my sister and for one of my birthdays she organised a crafting moment when me and my friends all made a fairy. #homemade #handmadewithlove #fairy #pegdollsofinstagram #pegdolls #santa #onthechristmastree #christmasdecor #mummade #nostalgia #everyyear #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

Great fun! #papercutting #loveteaching #handcrafted #handmadewithlove #festive #christmascards #ardingtonschoolofcrafts #calligraphy #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #craftworkshop
