Hi Sarah, wow, I love your crown. The detail is amazing and the overall effect is stunning. I can certainly appreciate the time this has taken. I would also like to say how much I loved Rebecca's crown too, fantastic 😍. Lastly, I want to say a huge thank you Sarah for including my crown in your video, I really appreciate your kind comments 😊
@Sarah Homfray Embroidery Hi Sarah, yes they did thank you. There have been some wonderful crowns submitted, our stitching group will be showcasing them at the Knitting & Stitching show (Harrogate) in November so that will be amazing to see them all together ❤️
@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Hi, so sorry I've given you duff information - the HCS crowns will be shown at a quilting show at Wetherby Racecourse. Are you histing any workshops or talks at the K&N show in November? It would be great if you are as I'll be going to stock up on goodied 🤣
Phenomenal, as usual! I didn't think I would see another of your pieces more beautiful than your Egyptian piece. I also love how you describe your problem solving process. Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed all three, from fantastic recycling (wouldn't be great if all the monarchs wore a bit of loo roll 😉) to amazing long and short and turkey rug results and just tons of inventiveness - just wow.
Great job ladies on those crowns! Really appreciate you sharing how you did this Sarah, starting with your sketchbook through to completion. Kudos to Jonathan for digging out the silver beads too! You both probably had all your fingertips bandaged by the end of it. Exquisite workmanship! Sharpies-love ‘em, use em! Lol
Dear Sarah , what a Beautiful crown you made!! Thank you so much for sharing the making of it. You are a real artist!! I really enjoyed this video again. ❤Tineke
Sarah you are so creative! Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. And Jonathan picking out the silver beads, my man would never do that, shout out to Jonathan, he’s a keeper!
Beautiful ❤ I can imagine being on the far edge of frustration with the little cross, but it turned out perfectly. I really enjoy watching/hearing about your design process. Bonus points to Jonathan for 'mining for diamonds'!
I’m not sure how I missed this when it came out, but I happened upon it tonight and it made my day. I am blown away by your talent! It is absolutely beautiful! Wow, the patience and perseverance you have! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is amazing!
Your work is amazing, just amazing. Thank you and the ladies for a detailed description of how you designed these. I truly appreciate and enjoy your work.
WOW, @Helen, @Rebecca, and Sarah! I bow down to your creativity and skill. I may need to learn how to properly curtsy in case I am ever fortunate enough to be in your presence. I am totally blown away by these crowns. Congratulations on your amazing creations. What a treat to see and hear about the work you put into your coronation embroidery. 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
Thank you Sarah, what a lovely thing to see your video pop up as I am winding down work for the weekend. The crown is amazing and thank you for sharing the process from inception to production. It must be so nice to do something for yourself for a change and so rewarding. It needs to sit beside your princess and the pea. Well done to the makers of the other crowns, stitchers never cease to amaze me with their inventiveness, marzipan wrapper, who would have thunk it😂😂
WOW Amazing Sarah, and so tiny too, I would have probably thrown it far far away, never to be seen again. I know how I struggled making frangipani's, they got put on the back burner several times until they actually got finished.
Sarah, your crown is fantastic! It was so interesting to see your sketches (which are lovely, by the way) and how you went from them to the final product. It's so beautiful, and so much intricate detail and planning. Can't understand how you had no spare diamonds lying around the house to use lol. The glass jar to display it is just perfect. Thank you for another wonderful video. Take care, and happy stitching.
Hello Sarah ! Iknew you would do something related to the coronation ! I thought ' How come you celebrated with us the late Queen 's jubilee and yet you mentioned nothing about the coronation ?! ' And voila', another amazing job you kindly showed us today. Well done to the others, they all did beautifully!! Keep it up stitchers!
That crown is an awe-inspiring Wow! Sarah. It's been so worthwhile watching the designing, 'roughing out', stitching, embellishing and then the construction. You certainly haven't lost any of the skills acquired at the RSN and I love that you wanted to do this to stretch yourself. Thank you s-o-o-o much for sharing this whole process, and how great to have seen and enjoyed the other two crowns. Hooray to you all👑👑👑🥳👏👏
Thank you Sarah that was really amazing, and I think your crown is absolutely exquisite!, it's so like the real thing it's incredible, you've no need to worry at all you've still got it and then some!!!!. I was absolutely fascinated as well to see all the working processes behind it, as at first glance you think how on earth would I even begin to tackle something like that. But to be honest, even that doesn't do justice to your great talent and skill, just wonderful!
Such an amazing project and you did a beautiful job! Helen and Rebecca’s crowns were so lovely. It’s so fun to see how different people interpret a brief. You all did wonderfully!! 👏👏👏
For some reason I always thought of this sort of thing as some completely complicated thing I'd never be able to learn how to do. Seeing that you can just ... look around and see what you have and put things together (like loo roll!) is really inspiring. Also, I would submit that it's *more* appropriate for it to have loo roll in it as a representation of England due to the Blue Peter influence. :D
Just came across your channel. What an incredible amount of work to make that crown. You did a lovely job. Perhaps a tiara next? 😉 Going back through your previous vids. Thank you for sharing all your time & talent.
This was another wonderful project that I have enjoyed seeing..... Is the wall hanging behind your seat tambour beading made by your sister? I have noticed and admired it in several videos. As always you inspire me to keep trying new things and stretch my skills to the next level.....
Adore your stump work crown, Sarah! What did you think of the dimensional headpieces worn by the Princess of Wales, Princess Charlotte and the Duchess of Edinburgh? I thought they were beautiful and unusual. Have you ever built something similar? Thank you for another delightful video! I had to rise at 2:00 AM on the west coast of the US to watch the coronation live, but it was worth it.
Of course your cat is wondering why it took so long to get his crown. I was wondering about the piece hanging behind you. It is lovely. What is the fabric and design. Is there a story behind it?
Hi Sarah, wow, I love your crown. The detail is amazing and the overall effect is stunning. I can certainly appreciate the time this has taken. I would also like to say how much I loved Rebecca's crown too, fantastic 😍. Lastly, I want to say a huge thank you Sarah for including my crown in your video, I really appreciate your kind comments 😊
It was beautiful Helen thank you for sharing!! Did they like it in your stitching group?
@Sarah Homfray Embroidery Hi Sarah, yes they did thank you. There have been some wonderful crowns submitted, our stitching group will be showcasing them at the Knitting & Stitching show (Harrogate) in November so that will be amazing to see them all together ❤️
I shall be going to the show, I'll make sure I look!

Sarah! It’s a real masterpiece! It’s absolutely stunning, so much attention to detail, fragile, majestic, and splendid!
Phenomenal, as usual! I didn't think I would see another of your pieces more beautiful than your Egyptian piece. I also love how you describe your problem solving process. Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed all three, from fantastic recycling (wouldn't be great if all the monarchs wore a bit of loo roll 😉) to amazing long and short and turkey rug results and just tons of inventiveness - just wow.
I'm sure there was some loo roll in those crowns on the telly....:)
I'm halfway through the video at the moment and I'm loving every minute of it!
How fun to see crown, and Helen and Rebecca's as well!
I love the use of things you already have, always makes it more personal.

This crown is a Super work of Art. Well done. So much intricate small work. Fantastic.
Great job ladies on those crowns! Really appreciate you sharing how you did this Sarah, starting with your sketchbook through to completion. Kudos to Jonathan for digging out the silver beads too! You both probably had all your fingertips bandaged by the end of it. Exquisite workmanship! Sharpies-love ‘em, use em! Lol
Thank you Sarah a fascinating and amazing crown made with your usual expertise.
It's really lovely and such an inspiration to see a more complex project worked through from planning to execution and the final result!
Oh wow, great work Sarah, Helen and Rebecca. 👌💕
Dear Sarah , what a Beautiful crown you made!!
Thank you so much for sharing the making of it. You are a real artist!! I really enjoyed this video again. ❤Tineke
Thank you Tineke!
You obviously have not lost your touch! Beautiful job! Thank you so much for showing us your steps to such an amazing piece!
It's lovely, Sarah!!!
Very clever use of materials at hand and (as always!) Great Skill and artistry! You are a wonderful inspiration!
Sarah you are so creative! Thanks for sharing so much knowledge.
And Jonathan picking out the silver beads, my man would never do that, shout out to Jonathan, he’s a keeper!
He could see me stitching it all evenings for many evenings and felt sorry for me I think!
Really enjoyed hearing your process . A work to be proud of.
Beautiful ❤ I can imagine being on the far edge of frustration with the little cross, but it turned out perfectly. I really enjoy watching/hearing about your design process.
Bonus points to Jonathan for 'mining for diamonds'!
Mining for diamonds...:)!!
Super interesting hearing the details of the construction. Thanks for sharing
Wow -- that's a future family heirloom. Absolutely stunning work!
I’m not sure how I missed this when it came out, but I happened upon it tonight and it made my day. I am blown away by your talent! It is absolutely beautiful! Wow, the patience and perseverance you have! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is amazing!
My fingers have just about recovered now!

Your work is amazing, just amazing. Thank you and the ladies for a detailed description of how you designed these. I truly appreciate and enjoy your work.
WOW, @Helen, @Rebecca, and Sarah! I bow down to your creativity and skill. I may need to learn how to properly curtsy in case I am ever fortunate enough to be in your presence. I am totally blown away by these crowns. Congratulations on your amazing creations. What a treat to see and hear about the work you put into your coronation embroidery. 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
Just don't do a Meghan curtsey Linda!
I'm in awe.
Well done you, Sarah, and Helen and Rebecca! Quite inspirational.
That's a lot of work on that beautiful crown. They are all pretty.
BRILLIANT! I learned embroidery and stumpwork from you years ago on YT and this is so impressive Sarah :)) I'm in awe of your creativity
Thank you Sarah, what a lovely thing to see your video pop up as I am winding down work for the weekend. The crown is amazing and thank you for sharing the process from inception to production. It must be so nice to do something for yourself for a change and so rewarding. It needs to sit beside your princess and the pea.

It's stunning!
Absolutely incredible! You did such an amazing job!
It’s fabulous!
Wow. I'm in awe of your talents. Absolutely stunning 👑 xx
Astonishing piece of work Ms. Sarah Homfray. Obra Maestra❤❤❤❤
WOW Amazing Sarah, and so tiny too, I would have probably thrown it far far away, never to be seen again. I know how I struggled making frangipani's, they got put on the back burner several times until they actually got finished.

All out of spare diamonds Marleen!
Very impressive indeed, well done it has turned out amazing

I may not have started it if I'd really thought it through Jane! :)
Absolutely brilliant ! Well done indeed.
Wow! These are amazing! I love the top you are wearing as well!
Thank you Sarah that was really amazing, and I think your crown is absolutely exquisite!, it's so like the real thing it's incredible, you've no need to worry at all you've still got it and then some!!!!. I was absolutely fascinated as well to see all the working processes behind it, as at first glance you think how on earth would I even begin to tackle something like that. But to be honest, even that doesn't do justice to your great talent and skill, just wonderful!
The key is having a deadline because otherwise I would still be fiddling with it now and probably lost the plot with it!
Such an amazing project and you did a beautiful job! Helen and Rebecca’s crowns were so lovely. It’s so fun to see how different people interpret a brief. You all did wonderfully!! 👏👏👏
It’s lovely, your so talented Sarah.
Incredible crowns ladies ❤❤❤❤ good history lesson too😊
Wow - fabulous! :)
This is a masterpiece Sarah !!!!
This is really beautiful!
Wow Sarah! Just wow!!😀

It's not hand made if it doesn't have a loo roll in it!! Didn't they make a whole Tracy Island out of loo rolls once?!
Incredible!!!
Just came across your channel. What an incredible amount of work to make that crown. You did a lovely job. Perhaps a tiara next? 😉 Going back through your previous vids. Thank you for sharing all your time & talent.
Thanks
Thank you Sara! x
Really enjoyed watching your description of your work. 😊
Geweldig gedaan!🫶👐 RINI from the Netherlands!
Ginger cat seems to approve of all of this.
This is bloody brilliant! In love! 😍😍 My audacity makes me want to try my hand in making one myself🤭
Very impressive. Your skills are remarkable!
Magnifique!
You've done an amazing thing!
Will it fit your kitty? ❤️ I don’t think you’ve lost ANY of your skills!
Of course it fits the Kitty!! Completely by chance of course...:)x
💛💛💛💛💛💛
Fabulous work
This was another wonderful project that I have enjoyed seeing..... Is the wall hanging behind your seat tambour beading made by your sister? I have noticed and admired it in several videos. As always you inspire me to keep trying new things and stretch my skills to the next level.....
I bought the hanging off Ebay Michelle!

The hair flowers were lovely! They were told not to wear Tiaras I think so these were the alternative
Do you know if they used prick and pounce on the Bayeux Tapestry? I’ve wondered how they got the pattern on the linen.
There are apparently no signs of design transfer anywhere on the Bayeux Tapestry but it's quite likely they used this method!
Of course your cat is wondering why it took so long to get his crown. I was wondering about the piece hanging behind you. It is lovely. What is the fabric and design. Is there a story behind it?
Not a very interesting story but I might cover it in a video soon because lots of people are asking about it!
It's stunning!
