Bonjour!

Welcome to my blog, I'm Faye, the resident stitcher here at The Fair Stitch. I'm Indonesian living in the North West of England.
When I'm not sewing, I love to spend my me-time either drawing, journaling, reading a book, or baking.
Please feel free to come in, say hi, and share your creative endeavours.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙂

Back in March, I was pretty much bed-bound for almost 3 weeks (not the C virus, I just hurt my back, badly), I couldn't sew or even sit in my studio. This book (swipe to see) provided me daily chuckle. Love it! The book itself was originally published in 1906, so some of the content is a bit dated but still funny. I'm thinking of doing #handlettering practice with it for #100dayproject2020 - since I'm still obsessed with calligraphy (thanks @thecalligraphypodcast 🤩) Should be fun, methinks 👀 Happy first of April, peeps ❤ #calligraphypractice #lettering #quotes #hobonichitecho #watercolours #obliquepenholder

Well hello again, it's been a while. I have been loving all the emails from online shops reassuring me that they're still up and running. Thank you to all the fabric shops, the pen and ink shops, the art supply shops, and of course Amazon for keeping me sane. They may not be selling stuff that would normally be considered "necessities", but to me they are. Getting a little treat of fabric, a book, a bottle of ink, or a tube or two of paint just makes me happy 😁 I'm currently (or rather finally) working on a project from Make It Simple book, so sewing content will resume. Hurrah. Have a wonderful day at home, peeps ❤ #dailyjournal #travelerscompany #gratitudejournal #notebook #writing #handlettering

Thank you Brenda of @thefoldline for printing my pattern 😍 I'm ready to get my sew on 🧵

#currentlyreading my fourth book of 2020, my second classic for the year - aiming for 12 🤞 Haven't been sewing much, have been struggling with really bad cold - all the panic over coronavirus on tv isn't helping hypochondriac me 🤦‍♀️ #bookstagram #bookworm #readersofinstagram #classicliterature #evelynwaugh #booklover #offtheshelf #fiction #bibliophile #bookaddict #goodreads #ahandfulofdust

Today's #doodlewashjanuary2020 prompt is cactus, perfect to try one of the projects in my new fave book by @dearannart 😁 15 mins of colour therapy and I'm ready for my Sunday pile of laundry 🤣 Happy Sunday, folks ❤ #createdaily #watercoloursketch #watercolours #sketch_daily #arttherapy #creativityiscontagious #watercolorpainting #worldwatercolorgroup #15minutewatercolormasterpieces
