Summary AI

Sarah, host of Champagne and Stitches, shares her stitching updates in Flosstube 31, filmed on 19th August. She admits to feeling unmotivated and 'on the struggle bus', having re-recorded the video multiple times. She shows one finish, one new start, and several WIPs, along with a small haul of subscription boxes.

Sarah finishes Stacey Nash's 'Miss Hazel', adding tiny buttons instead of the stitched ones called for in the pattern.
She starts Plum Street's 'Cow Pile' as her 'rogue' new start, but has only stitched a small section.
She shows progress on her 'Two Strands a Day' pot sampler, which she hopes to finish this year.
She unpicks incorrect stitching on last year's Christmas stitch-along from the Historical Sampler Company.
She shares her August Cotton and Twine box and the July Black Needle Society box, which she found disappointing.
She mentions plans to finish a tea-themed wall hanging and a stitched shirt, but admits to lacking motivation.
She describes a 10K walk in the Surrey Hills, where she discovered the Silent Pool Gin Distillery.
