How to Make Fly Stitch and Leaf or Fishbone Stitch

It's Week 8 and a new page in the Stitch Journal.  This week there is a tree to couch using up your thread ends.  It's a lovely way of using these little pieces up in a creative way.  
I'll show you how to stitch the first leaves in Fly Stitch and Leaf Stitch.  This is also know as Fishbone Stitch.
I had a couple of camera problems I'm afraid... The first was that I forgot to press record on part of the blanket stitching, so there's a bit of a jump to where the tree roots are already done! I also had an issue with the focus I'm afraid. I didn't realise about either of these until I was in the editing.... and by then it was too late!  I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of watching.
