Iron Stitch Episode 1 - Slow Stitch Challenge With The Amazing Daniela Mellen

Welcome to episode one of Iron Stitch!
I’m very excited about this collaboration with Daniela! It was so much fun!
Daniela sent me a wonderful box of “ingredients”. Like the show Iron Chef, the challenge was for both of us to create something using the same items.
Please visit Daniela’s channel to see what she came up with. Don’t forget to subscribe to her channel so you don’t miss any of her other fabulous projects. She’s awesome and you will LOVE everything she makes! She also hosts fun workshops!

I watched every Blessed second of this beautiful stitching, it reminded of when my 1st grandson was born. My daughter made up a story for him called, ‘The Boy with the Red Balloon’and we told it at bed time. We used three exact same words and as he grew he could tell the story himself. As time went on we added different adventures that happened when the boy’s mummy turned around to tie the ballon to the pram and to get different things out of her big bag. The balloon floated away with the boy and that’s when ‘things’ happened…… when the mummy got what she wanted out of her bag, everything was quite normal…… time for her had stood still. As the simple part of the story went on we brought different characters in that the boy had met on his adventures…. a tiny bird with a silver beak, a brown dog with a golden collar and no lead, many others. Those days are a distant but lovely memory…… bright back to me with this lovely piece of needlework.

[@cookingjennfer]

That is such a sweet story! ☺️ Maybe you can stitch a book with those adventures in it.

[@isabeedemski3635]

Beautiful work and wonderful stiry! Thanks!

[@donnadees1971]

I saw close ups of stitching, what were you looking at?

[@donnadees1971]

Where is the iron stitch?

[@christinenewell2679]

@@donnadees1971. I was looking at the finished picture, the girl with red balloons, reminded me of my story telling days. Don’t understand ‘iron stitch’ .

[@teresamoore5942]

I really like the way you edit your videos; slow enough so we get the idea, then speed it up so we can see the result, PERFECT!
Loving the "Iron Stitch" premise, too cute 😊

[@cookingjennfer]

Thank you! 😊

[@rachellee.9389]

Using that lace as a cloud is genius!

[@cookingjennfer]

I can’t wait to see Daniella’s tutorial. I just really love the detail of the girl’s hair and the lace on her dress and it looks like she is floating too. A little masterpiece ❤️

[@brendadeveau8852]

Outstanding creativity!!! You are so talented!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I was totally mesmerized at every stage of this video!! Absolutely loved it😍😍. Thank You for this video 🫶🏻🫶🏻. Would it be possible sometime to show us how you did the hair as it is perfect?

[@cookingjennfer]

Thank you! I am working on a hair video now. I didn’t know so many people would want to see that in detail but happy to show you all. 😊

[@brendadeveau8852]

Will definitely be on the lookout for that one. Thank You!😁👏🏻👍😋😋

[@mithuwythabith3493]

I’ll watch for it as well. Thanks for sharing your Iron Stitch challenge with us.😊

[@user-mk8sh9tj8m]

Oh my goodness💞💞💕💕 How beautiful! One of my favorites♥️. You are so talented. Exquisite workmanship!! Where do you get your design inspirations? This little girl is precious💕💕 Thank you for sharing♥️

[@cookingjennfer]

Thank you so much! The designs just happen. Sometimes I’m inspired by the things and places around me and other times I just start stitching and the ideas come to me as I go.

[@user-mk8sh9tj8m]

Amazing!! You truly have a special gift. Your work is exquisitely done. I love watching your videos - enjoy seeing how they start and develop. Thank you so much for letting us watch you💕. I don’t see a thimble either😉

[@cookingjennfer]

I tried different kinds of thimbles but as soon as I put them on my brain gets a signal that the finger is unusable. Like when you put boots on a dog 😆

[@user-mk8sh9tj8m]

Ha! So true! It took me years to get used to wearing one and now I can’t sew without one🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you!

[@sewchickie]

This is really cute and so creative. I'm new to your channel and notice you use a lot of metallic threads. I love the look of them but have not had much success using them. Would you mind sharing the brands you use? I especially like the single strand and multi-colored threads. Thank you!!!

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks! I have many different brands. Some were thrifted and don’t have labels. You might like Simthreads brand. It comes in many different colours. I also like the DMC Etoile. Those are cotton with metallic in it. Those are my favourite.

[@sewchickie]

@@cookingjennfer Thank you. I will check those out. I have a lot of metallics from Superior threads, but they are finicky with machine sewing. I might try them for hand stitching along with your recommendations. Thank s again. I'm loving your channel!

[@heathers5282]

I love this and also the music. Can anyone please tell me the title and artist of that wonderful first song?

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks! All the songs are listed in the description.

[@Vickiexploring]

Wonderful scene and beautiful stitching! Looking forward to the next Iron Stitching 🧵 🪡
