Stitched Stories: Surviving Spills and Starting Stitch-Alongs
Description:
This episode is very heavily focused on works-in-progress, which is honestly my favourite place to be. We’re diving into seven different projects today, ranging from massive full-coverage pieces to a cheerful new stitch-along. I also share a slightly terrifying "laundry day" story involving a tote bag, a playdate, and some rogue printer ink — thankfully with a happy ending!
Beyond the stitching, I’m sharing a few personal updates regarding my health and a new chapter in my self-discovery journey as I begin the process of seeking an Autism assessment. It’s been a bit of a week with a stubborn stye delaying this recording, but I’m so glad to finally sit down, show you my chaotic hoops, and chat about everything that's been happening!
We also have some exciting news regarding StitchKit and a look at a gorgeous new book, "Fantasy Cross-Stitch" by Iris Kleinbussink.
Some things I would love your feedback on:
- Have you ever had a "heart-stopping" moment with a spill or a stain on a project? How did you fix it?
- Are you a "one project at a time" person, or are you currently juggling a pile of WIPs like me?
- Are there any new books or designers you’ve discovered recently that have you reaching for your needle?
Whether you're working on a massive HAED or a tiny weekend project, I hope this episode gives you a little pocket of calm and encouragement for your own stitching journey.
You should drop a comment to say "hi!", like the video, and subscribe over at YouTube or Spotify if you're not already so you don't miss future FlossTubes. Doing any & all of those things helps me out immensely and it's free for you! I LOVE receiving your feedback and seeing your support 🧡

FlossTube is an online community brimming with creativity and camaraderie, centred around the love for all things needlework. Much like its cousin, YouTube, FlossTube is home to a plethora of channels run by passionate creators, affectionately known as "FlossTubers." These creators produce a wide variety of content, including project updates, tutorials, hauls (showcasing recent purchases), and even vlogs that provide a glimpse into their stitching journeys.
I'm hoping to build on my little community that I've got by expanding more to YouTube and what better way than to show off what I'm working on and boast about my latest finished pieces?
It's neat to be sharing with you all what I'm working on outside of regular social media posts, like the usual over at Instagram. I hope you're enjoying my FlossTubes! Don't forget to help out (for free!) by;
