In this beginners guide to slow stitch, I build on what we’ve leant in lesson 1 and start by choosing a main colour, picking out complimentary fabrics, lace and other items you can add to your stitchery to create interest and texture. We then use running stitch, whip stitch and cross stitch to bring everything together.
I now have a Facebook group where we can share all things slow stitch. I’d love to see your projects too.
You can follow the link below -

I have never heard the phrase Hickledy-Pickeldy & I think it’s my new favorite! Love the work!

I'm loving these videos, I've been telling myself to start a stitching journal for ages and you've got me started! Working on my own "lesson 1" while I watch you stitching "lesson 2"....waving hello from Canada and thank you again! Donna Roots & Rain Yarns

Hi Donna, thank you so much for your lovely words, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the ‘lessons’ - if you’re over on Facebook and fancy jointing the group, it would be great to welcome you over there too, where you can share your work and be inspired by others - but no pressure. A big wave from here in England 😊

I loved this 😍 I spent so long fiddling around with bits of fabric tonight that by the time I was pleased with them, it was bedtime and too late to start actually sewing 😂

If the button feels cold then it’s probably real. Plastic wouldn’t feel cold.

Besides mediation how best can we utilise this art in our daily life, so that others can benefit too.

@DottyBeeVintage 17 күн бұрын

For me, the process of creating and stitching is the meditation, my small pieces are then being placed in a stitch journal so that I can look back and see not only my year’s work, but how much progress I’ve made, how I use stitches and fabrics in different ways and how my work is evolving. Making my videos and sharing what I’m doing to other likeminded people is also so rewarding and I hope in return, the people who watch my videos, are getting something from them - hopefully, the inspiration to do their own stitching. If you’re asking what exactly to do with the pieces you create, then you could always gift them - frame a piece or attach to a greetings card, stitch onto a bag or piece of clothing. Share your love of stitching with others - gift a little starter pack of needle, thread and fabric to get someone started. Hope this answers your question 🌸

Hi! I have seen your channel while looking for my favourites, and decided to give yours a listen to today. Its so lovely and gentle and pretty. I will subscribe to you today, but I don't do fb as I do not feel safe to do so, no offence to those who use it.

What would you do with these blocks beside a.quilt journal can they be made bigger

@DottyBeeVintage 3 ай бұрын

Hi Gwen, yes, you could definitely create a bigger piece to make a wall hanging or picture or journal cover - or you could go smaller to make perhaps a bookmark. The size I’ve made is perfect to attach to a blank greetings card to gift to someone special 🌸

Hi Sally, what do you do with the edge's?. Sorry just a newbie to slow stitch!!. Not done it yet!. Hugs Karen

@DottyBeeVintage 3 ай бұрын

Hi Karen, I don’t mind the raw edges, so I’m not going to do any thing to it, but you could turn the edges over and create a little hem if you prefer. As I go through the series, I might address this and show a couple of ways to edge. Thanks for your question 🌸
