includes (almost) all my sewing and creative courses in one bundle! There are many that aren't available individually, and can only be found in this bundle.
If you're being held back from trying new things because of self-imposed (or taught) rules and must-dos, then SLOW STITCHING & MINDFUL MAKING is perfect for you!
I want you to embrace doing things the 'wrong' way, so you can get unstuck and see things in a new light. Listen to your intuition instead of following rigid patterns.
Have conversations with your materials, trust that you already know the answer; and find the freedom in creating something that truly speaks of your inner voice.
but a quiet ritual, a breath, a way back to yourself?

I have been dipping in and out of this course - thank you Ellie it is such a
wonderful resource to have! Today I finished my Japanese Rice Bag using some rust dyed fabric and spending the last couple of weeks slowly stitching around the outside. My drawstring was made by using the cordage skill. Love the way you can bring together the many skills that are gathered along the way and the wonderful meditative feeling that comes from doing my daily stitching - so healing!

I really enjoyed your presentation and your instructions on making string with strips of silk. I have seen other presentations that you have done and found this one to be just as enjoyable. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and for your clear and calm style.

Thank you so much Ellie. I can’t stop making your classes, you are an amazing tutor. You have put me on such a wonderful path I am forever grateful.

I'm a textile artist, writer and photographer. I work in an instinctual, intuitive way in my creative process - conversations with my materials and the project are important to me.
I've been teaching, sharing and connecting online for over 17 years, and more before that. I love that I'm able to host and share a new way of working with so many people.
Helping someone to lean into their innate creativity, to unlock any fears of perfectionism, and to simply have fun with their creative stitching is part of the reason I started sharing my courses online.
And because I love chatting with you all - from all across the globe, all experiences, skills.
- What do I get when I purchase?Immediate access to over 15 different courses - many which include multiple versions of the projects. Such as different ways to create a cushion or a zippered purse.
There are over 30 hours of videos, all broken down into bite-sized step-by-step segments. As well as PDF downloads for patterns and stitch techniques - What if I don't want to make some of the projects?That's ok - you don't have to! Make what you want, and leave the rest sitting in your (digital) library. Maybe one day you'll want to make one of them anyway.
There are currently over $500 worth of courses in this bundle, including all the courses from my Stitch Circle Community, which has now closed down. Many of these courses are not available individually, and only being offered inside this collection. - How do I watch the video courses?I host my courses on a site called Thrivecart. You can watch the courses on the ThriveCart website.
- What if I want a refund?Due to the digital nature of this project I don't offer refunds or exchanges, but if you feel like any of the courses aren't as described then please contact me and we can chat about it.
I always want you to be happy with your purchase. - What currency do you sell your courses in? And how can I pay?I sell in Australian dollars - AU$. Your bank or PayPal will automatically convert for you, so you don't need to worry about that.
The approx. conversions that I shared will possibly be slightly different through your bank depending on the currency on the day.
My website accepts all major credit cards through a secure system called Stripe. I also accept PayPal payments. - What if I need more support?You can always contact me directly via my email or send me a message inside the online forum.
- I have a question that you haven't answered.Absolutely, send me an email ellie@petalplum.com.au and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
- Does this include your quilt making course?No, my Fear-Less Improv Quilting course is not included in this bundle. Though there are some quilted projects inside the collection that will be a beautiful introduction to quilting. You'll learn a lot about my style of sewing, working with fabric, design, and composition inside these courses and video lessons.
