I always really enjoy messing about with my sewing machine to make marks.

Heavily stitched sketchbook page. #dailysketchbook #freemachinestitch #stitch

A combination of things in my sketchbook, trying out ideas. Pen with free machine stitch over the top.

Layers and layers of sheer fabrics, with layers of stitch in between. Trying out to see how many I can build up on the page. I like the way transparent fabrics can be colour mixed like this.

This page started with a piece of indigo dyed fabric. It is actually a old wartime utility bandage, which dyes beautifully. Free machine stitch was inspired by the shibori made marks on the fabric. And my rather enthusiastic stitching created a few rips in the paper!

For this page I used a scrap of fabric i had printed on, layered and added stitch.

Sheer fabric and stitch, some underneath and some over the top of the fabric.
