Stitch Magazine - Summer 2011

The latest issue of Stitch Magazine has just been published and it is all about Colour. I was lucky enough to have three projects included.


My favourite is the Elephant Placemats that I made using a repurposed Malaysian Batik Sarong for the elephant appliqués. I think they will be perfect next time I make an Asian inspired meal..



I also made a Table Runner with sashiko embroidered circles teamed with some Pippijoe fabric.



Lastly I made a wallet using some Japanese indigo prints and a few 50 Yen coins for decoration.



It is a lovely issue with some gorgeous projects from some of my favourite designers including - Jenny, Penny, and Ayumi.  Stitch magazine is now published quarterly.

Congrats on having three projects in the new Stitch magazine! I love the sashiko circles/bubbles on the table runner (very elegant) and your clever use of the coins on the wallet.

Wow - love all of your designs! The elephants are fabulous, and I am going to have to get the magazine to make the darling wallet...was just fingering my Japanese indigos yesterday, and put them in their own little pile so that I could start a new project with them. Now I know what it will be. CONGRATS on all of your designs!

Love the elephant place mats. I don not think I could ever be able to use them as such though, they are way to pretty.

3 great projects but I think the Elephants are my favorites too!!

Mary said...

Great projects! All of them are great. The table runner would look great for our flat. I must find out how I can buy a copy of Stitch Magazine from the UK.

LOVE the idea of using coins as decoration - I have a pile of those suckers just sitting, waiting for a purpose!
Love the elephants, too!

I always love your projects in Stitch, Lisa! My favorite is the wallet with three 50 yens sewn! That is really creative! Did you know that any coin that has a hole like that is usually associated with bringing a luck in Japan?!
The elephant placemats are gorgeous too~!!
