Can I Turn PAPER Into FABRIC!?! Join me for today's video and let's try MOMIGAMI.
I thought it would be fun to start a slow stitch sketchbook and use it to play around with some new materials, techniques and threads.
I don't have a plan or a schedule, but hopefully these videos will give you some new ideas for your own hand sewing and embroidery projects.
Everything will be suitable for beginners, so why not join me in my textile art journey.

Handmade paper from India has so much fiber that it’s easily made into momigami. Easy to find in US and on line. Instead of oil, many people like hand lotion. That isn’t quite as messy. Also, the traditional method is konnyaku paste, which is really clean. I get mine on line. I mention these options because you don’t like messiness.

Thanks so much. I will have to give it a try. I really like the effect, but the process troubles me! It's good to know there are options.

Really enjoyed this - I’ve looked at Momigami but like you don’t enjoy mess or sticky hands. However - having watched what you did - I am definitely intending to have a go so thank you ! And loved the piece you created btw x

It helps that the oil soaks quickly into the paper. After 10 mins I did really need to wash my hands, but they didn't feel too bad. It was a bit like using too much hand cream. Plus, my hands have stayed soft for about 3 weeks! That NEVER happens. So... bonus! Have fun with it. I hope it works! 👐

Enjoyed watching your experimentation. It is an interesting technique. I’ve had trouble with the oily residue when wanting to combine into stitchery pieces. Cheers, Christine

Hi there. Thanks for watching. I think the ironing process helped, and I also let the paper 'dry' for a couple of weeks before I stitched with it. So far, no oiliness. Maybe different types of oil make a difference. The coconut oil I used was quite dry and solid at room temperature, so that might help? I will have to experiment some more.

Awesome, I’ve been wondering what to do with the papers I’ve made, thanks. What glue did you use. To adhere to the book paper. ❤

@featherstitchhouse 5 ай бұрын

So glad you enoyes it. I stitched it on, but a stick glue would work well.

Enjoyed this video. How did you attach material to backing ? Also how did you attach your art to the book ? Thankyou

@featherstitchhouse 3 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for watching. I tend to always use stitches - I don't really like glue. To stitch fabric to the backing, I use smallish tacking stitches. I don't remove them, so they become part of the finished piece. To attach to this page, I use stab stirch - tiny stitches on the front, longer on the back. Don't make them too small though, or the paper will tear.

Thank you for sharing ... momigami is such an fascinating technique ... recently I've been experimenting doing momigami without oil ... seems to work OK and there's no need to iron out creases so can enhance them with paint wash layers. Thanks for inspiration ❤

That sounds brilliant. One of my followers used hand cream instead of oil and it worked a treat. Thanks so much for watching. I need to experiment some more.

This is lovely, hadn't heard of momigami, might have to give it a go at some point! I've crumpled and softened paper using water for scrapbooking quite some years ago but using oil is interesting. I do sew on paper and card sometimes but it can be taxing at times. Might have to look more into this one 🙂

@featherstitchhouse Жыл бұрын

It's such hard work to sew on paper but this wored really well. I even unpicked and re-stitched a section and the paper survived really well. I am so glad I stumbled across the technique. I hope you give it a whirl. 🤗

@christinep9069 Жыл бұрын

Really enjoyed this. Does it transfer the oil to the other pages of your scrap book?

@featherstitchhouse Жыл бұрын

Hi. Thanks for watching. The piece has been in my book for a couple of weeks now and there is no sign of any oil transferring. The paper doesn't feel oily at all. I think the ironing process helped, but I also let the paper 'dry' for a couple of weeks before I stitched it, so I think that might be important too.

Loved watching the video , missed my weekly dose of you. Not having any oil I used moisturiser to see what happens !! It looks similar to your results . I have lovely moisturised hands and will be playing with the results later.

I can't get this to work 😞. I've probably watched 15 videos about this and I've tried it with everything from printing paper to heavy scrapbook cardstock. I've used vegetable oil, hand lotion, conditioner... The treated paper always end up feeling hard or torn and mushy. I really want to do this, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😢

@featherstitchhouse 3 ай бұрын

That must be frustrating. This was my first attempt. The coconut oil did seem to work because it's quite a dry oil if that makes sense. I found that with this technique, less was definitely more. Using a small amount of oil and really working the paper until my hands weren't shiny any more, then repeating the process over and over again did seem to get me the result. I also let the paper 'dry' for about 2 weeks before trying to sew with it. That seemed to help too. I hope you give it another try. X

Can the oil be heated and brushed repeatedly on the paper?

@featherstitchhouse 4 ай бұрын

I think the scrunching is important because it breaks down the structure of the paper and works the oil into the fibres. Maybe give it a try though... what's the worst that could happen? Experimenting often leads to wonderful things.

@sandrakamelgarn8325 4 ай бұрын

Does the thickness of the paper matter?

@featherstitchhouse 4 ай бұрын

I don't think so. I tried tissue and heavy weight scrapbooking papers and they all worked. You need a bit more care in the early stages with tissue, but it works fine.

@artistgrly Жыл бұрын

Very interesting. Your art piece is awesome. Does the paper feel oily throughout the stitching process or does it get dry when you put it in the white paper and iron it?

@featherstitchhouse Жыл бұрын

That's a great question. It didn't feel oily at all. The ironing process helped but I doubt it would have made much difference. I actually left the paper for a week before stitching it - just because I was busy - and there was no oiliness at all. It doesn't feel remotely like paper either. It's just soft, fluid and I suppose like really thin felt. It's magic! 🤗

@Featherstitch House yes it is magic!! And it looks amazing!
