Here's a step-by-step lesson which will show you how to add variation to Britches Full Of Stitches First I'll play a mid-tempo version of the tune with some variations I like. Then I'll go through and show you what I did different from the basic version. 

Ultimately, I hope this lesson helps you explore ways to add variation on your own to any tune you play. In this way you'll find your voice as a fiddler and a musician. Yay.
