Finally got to begin some enjoyable hand stitching time, but then quickly stabbed my thumb, with the needle 🪡 , and now I need to wait until it stops bleeding 🩸 * , before I can start stitching again. 🙄

*who knew there’s a drop of blood emoji! 😆

…so I’m posting this while I wait, as I knew #quilters & #stitchers & #embroidery artists would understand! 😂

The woman who built up Edinburgh's army of street stitchers

Mary Morton goes out into the parks and streets of Edinburgh to #repair the #clothes of passers-by for free.

The 67-year-old fixes, mends and shows people how to breathe new life into their tired garments – and has built an army of volunteer street #stitchers who work across the city.

The former pharmacist, who has not bought clothes for five years, says she decided to change her lifestyle after becoming concerned about the impact of #textiles on the #environment.

Just watched MR. MONK'S LAST CASE: A MONK MOVIE (2023) on Peacock. Bits of it are sad, but it made me very happy. I hope we get tons more. Also they made Jeff Bezos the bad guy. Also Emma Ishta from Stitchers (2015-2017) is in it.
