Welcome to Didsbury Art Studio I am Sally a textile artist and educator. Here I offer a bank of over 500 textile tutorials to makers around the world exploring textile techniques, mixed media processes and experimental fabrics.
I share what I’m working on in real time, whether it’s for teaching, masterclasses, workshops, commissions, your requests, or my own creative explorations. Expect a mix of inspiration, process and discovery with a current obsession for Canadian smocking. I'll explore fabric selections, innovative applications, pattern developments and sculptural effects for contemporary textiles.

Next up we're doing a classic embroidery stitch called STEM stitch. It creates a continuous rope like effect and is great for going around curves. It's popular for using on more organic shapes such as flower stems and vines but can generally be used for any outlining.🪡
