Flosstube 220

Summary AI

In this weekly flosstube update, Emily shares a busy week of stitching from home in the UK, where she is off work for five days and planning to take her daughter Flora to university. She begins by explaining her plans for September and October, which involve working on older WIPs that she usually avoids because they are stitched over one or on dark fabric, and she shows a large list of projects she wants to rotate through. She also discusses her participation in the Great British Sewing Bee challenges, where she has been allocating specific stitch counts to three pieces, and she shows progress on several projects, including a Halloween piece called 'Halloween at Hawkrun Hollow' and a dragon-themed new start from the beginning of August.
