I appreciate all your support more than ever at the moment - this rolling lockdown here in Sydney is so hard…. Not being out and about teaching is without doubt taking its toll mentally, physically, emotionally and financially.
We’re staying busy with lots of behind the scenes work, but my goodness I miss being with “my people” in a classroom….
So, a Friday afternoon shoutout to my fellow Sydneysiders - keep looking forward! Xx

As a follow on from yesterday’s video post which resonated with so many of you, here’s another little treasure I found a few years ago at an antique textiles sale at Chelsea town hall in London.
I wonder where it had come from before that?
Who was the person who created this beautiful snippet of tapestry? Their story must surely be in embedded in threads - if only they could talk!

I’ve been playing photographer today….
Lots of my “show and tell” pieces that I share with my students are now strewn from one end of the studio to the other….
Wondering when the “cleaning fairies” are arriving to come and pack everything away again!

Maybe they’ll cook dinner too?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Btw, there’s been a heap of new fabric packs been added to the shop in last couple of days…. Your support means the world to me during this Sydney lockdown when I can’t be out and about teaching.
So thanks for keeping me occupied (and solvent!) 😉

About Forage by Lisa Mattock

Forage is about seeking out reclaimed and vintage textile treasures and upcycling them into beautiful pieces that speak to the soul of the stitcher.
At Forage, we are devotees of the art of slow stitching. We embrace the idea of slowing down, and recognise the practical beauty of reclaiming, reusing and repurposing; enjoying the moment among friends and sharing the delight that breathing new life into old finds can bring. Read More…
