Slow & Lovingly Made
Hello. I’m Lizzie, and Betty Silk Studio is the home of all my delightfully slow stitch adventures. After taking part in the Great British Sewing Bee, I’ve been inspired to calm it right down and share my love of sewing and design through workshops, retreats, and journaling / sketchbook kits. This is where it all begins!
I’m available for workshops, talks and bespoke group sessions – please email to enquire about bookings.
Stitching myself happy. Join me?

Sometimes, it’s so hard to switch off the churning thoughts. Writing always helps, although I’d forgotten that. Write it all down! See it laid out plain, understand it, inspect it. Just express it.
And stitching. In stitching, there’s a quiet…
Peace, Serenity & Grace
Yesterday, half way between a misty valley and a sunny peak in the middle of a gigantic gorge, the insatiable need to create struck. No sketchbook, so I played with leaves to try and capture what was going on in my head…
Hooked on Colour
Stripes are great. Aren’t stripes just lovely? Like strata in rocks, layers of life piled one on top of the other. Sometimes they clash and fight, other times settle quietly without much noise.
