Wow! This just popped up in my recommendations - I’ve never seen anything like it before and I’m absolutely blown away! I have lots of hobbies but sewing is my biggest relaxation, however you often have to stop to look at the pattern or check your progress, so you can’t completely lose yourself. It looks like this would be a wonderful meditative process (I’ve tried meditation but my brain won’t shut up). It’s not often you come across something completely different so I’m really lucky this popped up, thank you for sharing. I’ve subscribed and I’ll be working my way through your videos (hoping for one on your beautiful rice bag!) I just looked and there is - beautiful!
I feel the exact same way! I usually hand stitch blind hems, and found it really relaxing and meditative - but I never thought of using my scraps this way, brilliant!
Thank you, I have trouble shutting my brain up too, I have tried various meditation techniques when you are supposed to just sit and focus but can't find the discipline to shut everything out. Only when focusing on stitching can I truly switch off. ❤
its not about shutting off your thoughts! you cant do that in command. its about letting them pass without focusing your attention on them. wanting to shut off your brain or becoming frustrated by not being able to is just another thought which can pass by your mind, just observe it without focusing on it
I would love to see you use two different colored threads. I'm trying to picture how that would be done. I'm sure I'll be watching more of your videos. I think this is the first video I ever saw about slow stitching and started to watch it and then other videos kept coming up and here I am watching again.
Like others have written, you popped up in my feed. I'm so glad I found you, I do junk journals, but would like to start some slow stitching and use up vast amounts of fabric that I have collected. These little scrolls are neat, but I would love to see something like this made into a quilt, that would be so amazing. I have a couple quilts from my husband's grandmother. She took men's old twill and tweed wool and made quilts. I made my husband a quilt when we first married and then my son one from a shirt his great grandpa had, I added triangles and squares over denim. I need to make myself one now after 24 years lol. My husband's has been damaged over the years and I think I will do small patches like this to strengthen and add more interest. I'm so excited to start this. I'm trying to break myself away from the television and this should really help. My husbands on me all the time about saving small pieces of everything, lol, now I'll be starting thread nests, oh my is he gonna lose it. Hee hee.
I have done the Snippet rolls, but these look to be more fun. I found an empty wooden spool tonight while cleaning up my sewing area and am eager to get started with another meditation scroll. Thanks again. best to you.

I love your sense of humor, found myself laughing because you talk, occasionally to your “stuff” like I do…everything is precious and beautiful, so I feel that it’s part of this life! I’ve been a seamstress most of my life, sewed all my clothes in high school, then graduated to more craft sewing, quilting small projects, silk ribbon embroidery, etc., but I’ve never seen this wonderful use of scraps and stitching with different colors, by hand, and rolling them on various wooden objects…how resourceful and frugal using leftover thread and fabrics! This has given me some needed encouragement and enthusiasm to move myself into “project” mode! I’ve been dormant for a long while now, but I’m tired of being tired and unmotivated! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and I think I’m going to pull out my scrap basket and thread ❤🎉😊

Thank you so much for sharing your process and the darned sheets. That connection to the past through the darning is very moving. Lately it has become more known to me the hardship that women had down through the ages. Bless them and their resilience. Bless you for appreciating and acknowledging them in your work.
Your meditation scroll using your father’s old shirts bought a tear to my eye. My lovely Dad died in 2018. Sadly I did not keep any of his shirts - I am very sad about this. I do have 1 button which was on his R.A.F. Uniform so will use that on a scroll which will be a super keepsake. A super idea - Thankyou.
So very much enjoyed this video. I cannot bring myself to throw away scraps of fabric. It’s a great idea to do this. I’m working on a rice bag from your video to start this very process. Hopefully soon. I have bought a spool from a charity shop and ready to go 😂. Thank you for your videos.
How lovely to honour the work of the people who mended the sheets by stitching them into a beautiful piece of art. I love how each mend has a frame of black stitching. Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I'm about to start making my first meditation scroll 😊❤
Love this idea. I have panic/anxiety and just started slow stitching, although I’ve done everything from embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, quilting, crocheting, knitting, you name it. Those are always towards a project that has a beginning and an end. I love this meditation spool idea. Only 3 months into the slow stitching, and it’s better than therapy, AS ARE your videos. It feels like I’m sitting in the room with you, just having a chat and stitching away with no pressure to follow the rules or pattern.❤❤❤
This just came up in my feed and I love it! I wish I knew about this 40 years ago when I started sewing!….. I had a sudden image of me doing the charity shops for clothes for my colouring, washing them and tearing them into strips to make these scrolls, then making a loose shirt and sewing these strips on the sleeves, hemline and pocket! So many ideas! Thankyou.
collaging! you are the opposite of pretentious. I am stitching at work and watching you make scrolls. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and love that you have a scroll of him. LOVE it.
Tengo una blusa de mi madre fallecida hace muchos años y siempre he querido hacer algo para regalar a mis hermanos y creo que hasta ahora logré tener una idea concreta. Les daré una gran alegría cuando reconozcan trocitos de esa blusa. Gracias por la idea.
Sick as a dog currently and was looking for something to calm me down/distract me and this popped up on my feed, and let me tell you I’ve never been more grateful! Your work is so inspiring for my own stash of tiny scraps. It reminds me a lot of the work my mom used to do to keep her hands busy. And your voice is so lovely and calm! I’m sorry if this wasn’t coherent, but I wanted to say thank you so much for uploading this. You made my night so much easier
You are a kind and lovely soul to do this and take the time to share and show others how truly relaxing and creative it can be at the same time. I loved the story about all your fathers shirts being given a new life. That was a very healing thing to do to keep him close to you in time and memories also. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and talking to us out here in the unknown, as its like sitting and listening to a dear friend and relaxing at the same time. i love your talents. Its all perfect.
Im SHOUTING,IM SHOUTING, I love this idea of saving scraps. I have some lovely large cotton reel’s that were in my father’s sewing machine as he was a tailor in the 50/60. I have always wondered what to do with them. I love just holding them, but now I know thanks to you. I was a dress maker when I left school in 1960. So my life has always been filled with all sorts of craft. My daughter and granddaughter have never shown any interest. But I have a great grand daughter who is showing a lot of interest in any sort of crafts. 👏🏻 I am fairly new to your channel, and loving every minute. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Crafty hugs Lesley 💝🇦🇺
Talking about twining and aching hands - my mother showed me a different way which is much less painful. We did it with the 2 of us together, each holding either end of the piece to be twined. She would twist one way and I would twist the other until it started to buckle and twist. Then we would thread it through the handle of some large sewing scissors without letting go, let it hang halfway along it and bring the 2 ends we were holding together, again without letting go. The scissors would hang down as a weight and it would spin because of the tension in the twisted piece. When it stopped spinning you had a beautiful twined cord! We used 1 strand at a time but I’m sure you could do the same thing with more than one … worth a try!
This appeared out of nowhere and was so peaceful and meditative to watch. It reminded me of how enjoyable plain basting is and I loved the colours, simplicity and creativity of the scrolls. Thank you so much, watching this was a wee gift to myself.
The old sheets; the mending was a fantastic save of the old ways of living, in a home that made things last. What a great idea. You are so lovely to listen to, a good story teller besides a good crafter! Thank you for sharing; continue to be the authentic person you are. We all need it.
for you to rescue and so lovingly save these old darns on the sheets is just such a lovely thing… I just love this. I have several pair of sheets that were my grandmothers long before I came along 60 years ago plus!… And I probably need to do somethinglovely like this so that they won’t be just toss aside when I’m gone, but treasured as these are. Very lovely.😊
Shouting out: IT IS LOVELY! all of them. This whole video. It’s all so lovely. Visiting here is just lovely. I’m so itchy to start a collection of scraps and nests and make my own lovely The sheets scroll is a true treasure. Real and true life turned art. I love that intensely

I love your approach to textiles I’ve inherited my grandmothers unfinished projects,embroidery threads,knitting etc and have been looking for a way for me to make my own connection and add myself to her story for my own daughter to inherit. I think I have found it 🙂
I love everything you do and thoroughly enjoy listening to you........I have to admit that most on here get on my nerves after a while but not you. Thanks so much for sharing.......I'll be here listening.
These rolls are absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing them with us. Not to mention, your hand stitching is so methodical and focused. I can see why it relaxes you so very much.
Your voice in this video is so lovely. I love this video so much for so many reasons. I feel like I'm in your living room sharing time just listening. Thank you!
Thank you once again for such a lovely visit. I watch on tv while I stitch so I typically miss my commenting ! However, I’m watching while resting on my iPad and was thrilled to be able to comment this evening When you EVER PULLED your sheet stitching spool 🧵 I nearly fainted ! I have been working for 13 months collecting bits of French vintage / antique sheets and was just gifted last month from my pen pal in France who came by a small shop that had some scraps of sheets not only with lovely darns but even better, all gloriously embroidered with Monograms in red or blue ! She sent me 12 squares for the 12 days of Christmas 🤶 part of my Christmas gift . We have sent 12 gifts to open 1 each day for the 12 days before Christmas!! Well I was gifted 13 this year and this one had a sweet note must be opened upon receiving?!? I’m so very happy! Over the moon with these 12 small very old and wonderfully tattered French sheets all linen 10x 10 inches . One day I was hoping to create a small book with my collection of French sheets, However .. not anymore. I’ve waited so long to create with my small collection. I feel like a child on Christmas morning opening up the very doll I had waited and hoped for all year long. Thank you from my heart 💜 I can’t get started quite yet as I have 3 spools in my bag waiting to be finished before Christmas and sent to the UK , Finland & France ( I’m from the USA. ) These gals have been my pen pals for 4-5 years. I look forward to sending them these as they all include bits and pieces from each they have been sending me not knowing why .. ❤ Many thanks for sharing your time & inspiring videos with so many Merry Christmas 🎄
I have been waiting for 10 years to find something to do with my beloved Bills Hawaiian shirts. I have a large empty spool and I think one of these is the answer . I’ll let you know 😀
Я не знаю английского языка, к сожалению, но очень понятна технология. Завораживает шитье, кусочки тканей, катушки, шпильки, коробочки. Мне приятно, что Вы тоже пользуетесь старыми вещами. Спасибо за идеи, подписываюсь 👏👍🕊
на сайте есть возможность перевести текст видео с помощью субтитров. Эта техника очень похожа на японскую - сашико. Дама рассказывает, что для нее это своего рода медитация. Так же она восхищена тканями, которые пережили не один век. В конце видео, есть белые кусочки, их она сделала из простыней старинного отеля, которые ей отдала подруга. Вся штопка которая была на этом белье, как книга по истории...монограммы...машинная, ручная штопка, сделанная тщательно, ловкими пальцами мастериц, или грубо, как первые стежки молодой девушки без опыта. Это действительно завораживает)
@@birdie1059 А вот я всё равно не совсем поняла: зачем это всё? Вот, ксли бы эта дама сшила из этих фрагментов плед, скатерть .... что-нибудь нужное... а то получается, что этот процесс просто ради релакса. Для меня это странно...много лишнего времени...?
@@Vadjrathank you so much for your lovely explanation in the person's own language, I have a translate button here to read your comment. I explain above how to get subtitles on the videos, unfortunately TH-cam won't let me put them on myself. Thank you again for your help ❤❤❤
Never seen or heard about this before but it does very much remind me of the Indian stitching called kantha where they use old saris and fabric scraps and overlay them like you have done but on a larger scale, they layer 3-4 layers and use running stitch to make the kantha blankets and throws... Wonderful way to recycle fabrics.. And in your case lots of teeny tiny scraps that would otherwise be thrown away.. ❤
Listening to you "rabbit" on was meditative in and of itself. The little comedic interludes, the heartfelt tribute to your father that held the weight of years of love, the art, the joy of creation for the sake of creation...Thank you for all of this.
I never get tired of doing these scrolls in all sizes. I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves doing them, I find they are so relaxing to just pickup anytime and add a few stitches. x
@@theclumsyprepper I do mention possibilities for using them in the video though for me, it's the process. Happily, we are all different, perhaps they are just not for you. 😉❤️
@@k3n.clothtales You're right, they're not for me. They are beautiful though and I get why you enjoy making them. I love hand sewing myself, though mine is usually mending of some sort. My dogs chewed up a lot of my things when there were babies, making sure mama won't run out of things to do anytime soon 😂.
How extraordinary that roll of harvested darns!! So smart of you to capture those moments of repair in this roll - I love it so! It is a testament to all the hard work our sisters have done to make a house a happy home. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🫶😃
I was blessed by TH-cam with this video suggestion. I have never heard of meditation stitching but this is fascinating! I spent a lovely forty odd minutes relaxing and mesmerized by your work and voice. The spools of odd bits of stitched fabric are beautiful to just look at. I can’t wait to start some of my own. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I can’t wait to see more of them and your work! ❤❤❤
This is wonderful! I too value stitch and fabrics. I love old bits and think of the travels it's been on. I love your "darns." It's always amazed me how essential things were cared for. Truly a "Stitch in time saves nine." Thank you so much for sharing and your "block tip"
This is absolutely stunning and such a soulful inspirational project. Also your voice is so soothing, a meditation in itself. Your father's shirt scroll was so moving. Everything about this was just perfection and the perfect video for this season of light! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I have done a few medium size spools of meditation stitch rolls and have started a much larger one after finding a few huge wooden bobbins at a local antique store. I love putting stitches into the rolls. I usually close mine with a button with a strip of cloth or sari attached under it, then wrapped around the spool and the button, or just the strip wrapped around the spool and tucked under itself (no button). Your collection of sheet mends is wonderful! One of the things that reoccurs to me often while I stitch is the connection I have with women who stitched before me over the millennia. We are bound by a common act in an age when most people toss the old (socks or sheets, for example) and replace it with new, when we don’t need to know how to mend or even stitch by hand or machine. I love feeling connected to stitchers past and present! Thank you for sharing your stitch meditation rolls with us. It was a very fun, inspiring, and satisfying journey. ❤
oh your lovely words resonate with me so much! yes, that common thread that connects us all, through time and also, thanks to the internet, through space 😉😁 your spools sound lovely, I am busy with Christmas present knitting (socks for my Mum), but I am itching to stitch! ♥️
@@pamelalong2179 for me, the process of creating them is the meditation. Just being absorbed by the cloth and the simple act of repetitive stitching 🙏❤️
At a loss for words that describe how I really feel about this. I have always loved slow stitching, but felt guilty spending the time doing something not " productive ". Your video helps me redefine it as meditation
I agree with the others, this popped up and I am so glad! Your voice is so calming and your comments so fun to hear. I love the idea of these little cloth rolls. Thank you!
This is genius! I do a lot of quilting and this the perfect way to track the fabrics I use in each quilt. I just finished a quilt and started one of these using the background fabric as the base piece. I then placed little cuttings of each of the other fabrics I used in the quilt on top of the base piece. I secured them with basting spray until I was able to stitch them down. I wrapped it around a peg style clothesline and tied with a thin strip of fabric used in the quilt. I hand journaled on the back of the base piece who the quilt was for and when I finished it. I'm calling these my scrappy quilt journals. I've been looking for a way to document each quilt in a more tactile manner and this is perfect and so much fun! Thank you for this great idea and tute!!!!!!
Hello from Canada! What a lovely idea! I've never seen anything like this before. Definitely going to make some. I have a collection of antique spools that would fit the bill perfectly! Thank you for sharing❤
The sheet scroll is just soooo amazing! As you said - the hands that have touched that, but also - the stories told while darning, the individual herstories of those women...
The scrolls are so beautiful. I cannot believe your thought to make the scroll of all the darn in the sheets.That was just incredible to see. Thank you for sharing!
Your craft is enchanting! This would be a great thing for me to try, even if I can make only one. I’m living in my recliner due to incapacity from injury and arthritis. I mostly knit, but this craft will be a lovely distraction. Thank you for showing us the “how-to’s”.
Cool ive just started some slow stitching😊 and yeah its good for me i have fibromyalgia so doing alot would drain me but a bit here and there is better😊😊
Thank you for this video. I have set aside one day on the weekends just for what is becoming my meditation scroll, and it’s such a wonderful mindfulness practice! No pressure. No judgement. Just joy.
This video is like having someone in the sewing room with me !! It was recommended by Sew stitching with sew salvage, so decided to do a quiet while and listen. Never to old to learn something new !!
Sorry I put the wrong name in - where I'd learned about your youtube - its Slow stitching with sew salavage. Some days the mind goes its own way at this age !! LOL
Hello miss, thank you for your videos, theyre very lovely and calming to listen to. I was having a hard time sleeping due to holiday anxiety and found myself endlessly scrolling through meditation videos looking for something when i found this video. Not what i was searching for, but it was far more effective. Your commentary and the visual of slow stitching are hypnotic in a way that had my mind quieting down almost instantly. It reminds me of when my late grandmother would sew up the rips in my toys when i was younger and make up stories about my toys adventures and how they "really" got their rips. Thank you so much for your videos, i hope your holiday has been lovely and full of joy ❤
Ваше творчество, Ваши работы такие уютные они вызывают у меня ностальгию по детству, воспоминания о бабушке рукодельнице. Помню, как я гордилась, получая а руки лоскутики, нитки и иголку, мне было 2-3 года. Спасибо Вам! ❤ Это чудесно и мило.
I have planned a meditation scroll for over a year now and I’m glad I waited. Your video has been quite helpful in getting me started. I just cut out my foundation cloth and looking through my scraps basket. Thank you for doing this.
My goodness, where did this lovely video come from, ha! I feel inspired, thank you sooo much. I made a quilt out of my dad’s shirts many years ago but still have left over scraps in a box that I just can’t part with….’n now I know what to do with them, yeh!
Какая прелесть!!! Это так мило! Подписка! Я шью домашние тапочки из старых пальто, у меня целая корзинка обрезков (там и трикотаж, и хлопок)... Супер-идея! Использовать личные памятные вещи семьи! Всех благ!

Love your Meditation rolls with snaps- they are great ! I’m inspired to try this!
collaging! you are the opposite of pretentious. I am stitching at work and watching you make scrolls. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and love that you have a scroll of him. LOVE it.
Thank you, I love that you are watching me at work and stitching 😁❤️
Tengo una blusa de mi madre fallecida hace muchos años y siempre he querido hacer algo para regalar a mis hermanos y creo que hasta ahora logré tener una idea concreta. Les daré una gran alegría cuando reconozcan trocitos de esa blusa. Gracias por la idea.
Очень красиво, спасибо за идею🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for keeping me company on this rainy Sunday morning while I knit and have a coffee in a quiet house before everyone wakes up.
My pleasure 😊
48 more minutes of pure joy! Thank you.
my pleasure ♥️
My 3 rd time viewing..I enjoy listening to you and watching as you sew. The good thing is I now sew along❤. This is a wonderful idea.
Thank you Pam, I am pleased you are enjoying yourself ❤️
Brilliant! Those of us that work with our hands meditate with our hands as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Maria Montessori said, Through the hand to the mind.
And I just feel that is so true for adults as well. And I’d say also to the heart too ❤
Yes, beautiful way of putting it ❤
Well said!
My first time finding you. My Dad also died in 2019, August. I may do the same with some of my Dad's clothing.
I am sorry for the loss of your Dad, I hope you will find comfort in making a scroll to remember him ♥️
Sick as a dog currently and was looking for something to calm me down/distract me and this popped up on my feed, and let me tell you I’ve never been more grateful! Your work is so inspiring for my own stash of tiny scraps. It reminds me a lot of the work my mom used to do to keep her hands busy. And your voice is so lovely and calm! I’m sorry if this wasn’t coherent, but I wanted to say thank you so much for uploading this. You made my night so much easier
Absolutely coherent, thank you. So sorry you are poorly, glad I helped a little. Hope you feel better soon ❤️
There are many inventive and talented people in this world. You, Kathryn, are one of them!🎉
Thank you so much 😊
You are a kind and lovely soul to do this and take the time to share and show others how truly relaxing and creative it can be at the same time. I loved the story about all your fathers shirts being given a new life. That was a very healing thing to do to keep him close to you in time and memories also. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and talking to us out here in the unknown, as its like sitting and listening to a dear friend and relaxing at the same time. i love your talents. Its all perfect.
Thank you so much, it is so rewarding to 'meet' people who understand ❤️❤️❤️
Im SHOUTING,IM SHOUTING, I love this idea of saving scraps. I have some lovely large cotton reel’s that were in my father’s sewing machine as he was a tailor in the 50/60. I have always wondered what to do with them. I love just holding them, but now I know thanks to you. I was a dress maker when I left school in 1960. So my life has always been filled with all sorts of craft. My daughter and granddaughter have never shown any interest. But I have a great grand daughter who is showing a lot of interest in any sort of crafts. 👏🏻 I am fairly new to your channel, and loving every minute. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Crafty hugs Lesley 💝🇦🇺
I hear you! 😁 So pleased to have given you ideas for your father's spools ❤
Talking about twining and aching hands - my mother showed me a different way which is much less painful. We did it with the 2 of us together, each holding either end of the piece to be twined. She would twist one way and I would twist the other until it started to buckle and twist. Then we would thread it through the handle of some large sewing scissors without letting go, let it hang halfway along it and bring the 2 ends we were holding together, again without letting go. The scissors would hang down as a weight and it would spin because of the tension in the twisted piece. When it stopped spinning you had a beautiful twined cord! We used 1 strand at a time but I’m sure you could do the same thing with more than one … worth a try!
How I like your creativity and your vision of beauty!🌹
Thank you ❤️
This appeared out of nowhere and was so peaceful and meditative to watch. It reminded me of how enjoyable plain basting is and I loved the colours, simplicity and creativity of the scrolls. Thank you so much, watching this was a wee gift to myself.
My pleasure, happy you enjoyed it 😊

Yes!, peaceful is the great word, and help me and others!
Lindíssimo teu trabalho. Muito grata por compartilhar.
The old sheets; the mending was a fantastic save of the old ways of living, in a home that made things last. What a great idea. You are so lovely to listen to, a good story teller besides a good crafter! Thank you for sharing; continue to be the authentic person you are. We all need it.
thank you, so lovely to be appreciated ♥️
This is a beautiful mindful practice. I wish I saved some of my parent’s clothes. Thank you for sharing the memories of your father 💕🙏🏻
I absolutely love this!!! Thank you for sharing, you’re wonderful to listen to and watch.
Thank you for making us Brave!! I love that you encourage us!
My pleasure and thank you ❤️❤️❤️
for you to rescue and so lovingly save these old darns on the sheets is just such a lovely thing… I just love this. I have several pair of sheets that were my grandmothers long before I came along 60 years ago plus!… And I probably need to do somethinglovely like this so that they won’t be just toss aside when I’m gone, but treasured as these are. Very lovely.😊
Thank you ❤
Shouting out: IT IS LOVELY! all of them. This whole video. It’s all so lovely. Visiting here is just lovely. I’m so itchy to start a collection of scraps and nests and make my own lovely
The sheets scroll is a true treasure. Real and true life turned art. I love that intensely
I hear you! 😁 Thank you so much ♥️
بانو جان روحزیبای شما در این هنر بی نظیر عشق رو فریاد میزند آنقدر زیبا هستن که محو تماشا شدم 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈من از ایران هستم....کارهای چهل تیکه انجام میدم و چیزی رو دور نمیریزم حتی نخ ها را ..اوه خیلی عالی هستید
Just found you today. You might be my new addiction ❤️
What a great way to use up snips and schnoodles!!!
Thank you for sharing this with us💖
Great words 😁❤️
I love your approach to textiles I’ve inherited my grandmothers unfinished projects,embroidery threads,knitting etc and have been looking for a way for me to make my own connection and add myself to her story for my own daughter to inherit. I think I have found it 🙂
Eso estaba pensando
Ваши руки дают спокойствие!!! Уверенность!!! Любовь!!! Все очень хорошо!!!
I have some antique bobbins that I didn’t know what to do with. Great ideas.
I love everything you do and thoroughly enjoy listening to you........I have to admit that most on here get on my nerves after a while but not you. Thanks so much for sharing.......I'll be here listening.
Give it time... 😂 Seriously though, happy you like it so far and thank you for listening 😊❤
These rolls are absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing them with us. Not to mention, your hand stitching is so methodical and focused. I can see why it relaxes you so very much.
Thank you so much 😊
Your voice in this video is so lovely. I love this video so much for so many reasons. I feel like I'm in your living room sharing time just listening. Thank you!
my pleasure ♥️
Thank you once again for such a lovely visit. I watch on tv while I stitch so I typically miss my commenting ! However, I’m watching while resting on my iPad and was thrilled to be able to comment this evening
When you EVER PULLED your sheet stitching spool 🧵 I nearly fainted ! I have been working for 13 months collecting bits of French vintage / antique sheets and was just gifted last month from my pen pal in France who came by a small shop that had some scraps of sheets not only with lovely darns but even better, all gloriously embroidered with Monograms in red or blue !
She sent me 12 squares for the 12 days of Christmas 🤶 part of my Christmas gift . We have sent 12 gifts to open 1 each day for the 12 days before Christmas!!
Well I was gifted 13 this year and this one had a sweet note must be opened upon receiving?!? I’m so very happy! Over the moon with these 12 small very old and wonderfully tattered French sheets all linen 10x 10 inches .
One day I was hoping to create a small book with my collection of French sheets, However .. not anymore. I’ve waited so long to create with my small collection. I feel like a child on Christmas morning opening up the very doll I had waited and hoped for all year long.
Thank you from my heart 💜
I can’t get started quite yet as I have 3 spools in my bag waiting to be finished before Christmas and sent to the UK , Finland & France ( I’m from the USA. ) These gals have been my pen pals for 4-5 years. I look forward to sending them these as they all include bits and pieces from each they have been sending me not knowing why ..
❤
Many thanks for sharing your time & inspiring videos with so many Merry Christmas 🎄
What lovely penpals you have, I could feel your joy reading your message. Merry Christmas to you too ❤
Your voice is so relaxing
I have been waiting for 10 years to find something to do with my beloved Bills Hawaiian shirts. I have a large empty spool and I think one of these is the answer . I’ll let you know 😀
I hope so Lynette, look forward to hearing about it ❤
Я не знаю английского языка, к сожалению, но очень понятна технология. Завораживает шитье, кусочки тканей, катушки, шпильки, коробочки. Мне приятно, что Вы тоже пользуетесь старыми вещами. Спасибо за идеи, подписываюсь 👏👍🕊
Thank you, you can get subtitles in your language if you click top right on CC, then Settings, Auto translate then select your language 😄❤️
на сайте есть возможность перевести текст видео с помощью субтитров. Эта техника очень похожа на японскую - сашико. Дама рассказывает, что для нее это своего рода медитация. Так же она восхищена тканями, которые пережили не один век. В конце видео, есть белые кусочки, их она сделала из простыней старинного отеля, которые ей отдала подруга. Вся штопка которая была на этом белье, как книга по истории...монограммы...машинная, ручная штопка, сделанная тщательно, ловкими пальцами мастериц, или грубо, как первые стежки молодой девушки без опыта. Это действительно завораживает)
@@birdie1059 А вот я всё равно не совсем поняла: зачем это всё? Вот, ксли бы эта дама сшила из этих фрагментов плед, скатерть .... что-нибудь нужное... а то получается, что этот процесс просто ради релакса. Для меня это странно...много лишнего времени...?
Такие милые штучки я использую для организации дневника .Это красиво и интересно.
@@Vadjrathank you so much for your lovely explanation in the person's own language, I have a translate button here to read your comment. I explain above how to get subtitles on the videos, unfortunately TH-cam won't let me put them on myself. Thank you again for your help ❤❤❤
Never seen or heard about this before but it does very much remind me of the Indian stitching called kantha where they use old saris and fabric scraps and overlay them like you have done but on a larger scale, they layer 3-4 layers and use running stitch to make the kantha blankets and throws... Wonderful way to recycle fabrics.. And in your case lots of teeny tiny scraps that would otherwise be thrown away.. ❤
Thank you yes, definitely inspired by kantha, also Japanese Boro and many other textile traditions, all connected by the thread ❤️❤️❤️
Как мило! Спасибо вам за такую чудесную идею! 🙏👍❤😍
А что это? И зачем? Я не поняла
This is absolutely mesmerizing!
Listening to you "rabbit" on was meditative in and of itself. The little comedic interludes, the heartfelt tribute to your father that held the weight of years of love, the art, the joy of creation for the sake of creation...Thank you for all of this.
My absolute pleasure, thank you for appreciating it ❤
I never get tired of doing these scrolls in all sizes. I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves doing them, I find they are so relaxing to just pickup anytime and add a few stitches. x
yes, they are just lovely things to stitch on and hold ♥️
What would you do with them after you made them? I find the concept interesting, but I do like the things I make to be useful in some way.
@@theclumsyprepper I do mention possibilities for using them in the video though for me, it's the process. Happily, we are all different, perhaps they are just not for you. 😉❤️
@@k3n.clothtales You're right, they're not for me. They are beautiful though and I get why you enjoy making them. I love hand sewing myself, though mine is usually mending of some sort. My dogs chewed up a lot of my things when there were babies, making sure mama won't run out of things to do anytime soon 😂.
@@theclumsyprepper thank you, we are all different which makes the world more interesting. Though I do like to mend things too... ❤️
Darn it, I gave away a bag of lovely old wooden spools.... but maybe more will come my way by and by. Thanks for this video, very calming. 😸
Oh what a shame! Lesson learned, never get rid of anything because you never know... 😉❤️
How extraordinary that roll of harvested darns!! So smart of you to capture those moments of repair in this roll - I love it so! It is a testament to all the hard work our sisters have done to make a house a happy home. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🫶😃
Thank you, it's a precious thing ❤️
I was blessed by TH-cam with this video suggestion. I have never heard of meditation stitching but this is fascinating! I spent a lovely forty odd minutes relaxing and mesmerized by your work and voice. The spools of odd bits of stitched fabric are beautiful to just look at. I can’t wait to start some of my own. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I can’t wait to see more of them and your work! ❤❤❤
Thank you and welcome 🤗
Ok
This is wonderful! I too value stitch and fabrics. I love old bits and think of the travels it's been on. I love your "darns." It's always amazed me how essential things were cared for. Truly a "Stitch in time saves nine." Thank you so much for sharing and your "block tip"
Thank you, yes the life and history in old cloth is endlessly fascinating ❤️
Я не слышала такой поговорки про стежок) интересно
This is absolutely stunning and such a soulful inspirational project. Also your voice is so soothing, a meditation in itself. Your father's shirt scroll was so moving. Everything about this was just perfection and the perfect video for this season of light! Thank you so much for sharing this!
My pleasure and thank you so much for your lovely message ❤️
Your voice is wonderfully warm and comforting.🙏🥰
I have done a few medium size spools of meditation stitch rolls and have started a much larger one after finding a few huge wooden bobbins at a local antique store. I love putting stitches into the rolls. I usually close mine with a button with a strip of cloth or sari attached under it, then wrapped around the spool and the button, or just the strip wrapped around the spool and tucked under itself (no button).
Your collection of sheet mends is wonderful! One of the things that reoccurs to me often while I stitch is the connection I have with women who stitched before me over the millennia. We are bound by a common act in an age when most people toss the old (socks or sheets, for example) and replace it with new, when we don’t need to know how to mend or even stitch by hand or machine. I love feeling connected to stitchers past and present!
Thank you for sharing your stitch meditation rolls with us. It was a very fun, inspiring, and satisfying journey. ❤
oh your lovely words resonate with me so much! yes, that common thread that connects us all, through time and also, thanks to the internet, through space 😉😁 your spools sound lovely, I am busy with Christmas present knitting (socks for my Mum), but I am itching to stitch! ♥️
I loved this idea of yours and the role of darned pieces was really interesting! Thankyou and have a lovely evening.❤
Love your process and the advice “don’t use materials you don’t enjoy”. 😊 Thanks!
You are so welcome!❤
How do you use this in your meditation?
@@pamelalong2179 for me, the process of creating them is the meditation. Just being absorbed by the cloth and the simple act of repetitive stitching 🙏❤️
At a loss for words that describe how I really feel about this. I have always loved slow stitching, but felt guilty spending the time doing something not " productive ". Your video helps me redefine it as meditation
I agree with the others, this popped up and I am so glad! Your voice is so calming and your comments so fun to hear. I love the idea of these little cloth rolls. Thank you!
Welcome!!
I love your stitch meditation scrolls.The roll of darns is amazing.A wonderful piece of social history ❤️
They should be left to a textile museum -- the record of a life.
What a lovely thing to say thank you 😊
This is genius! I do a lot of quilting and this the perfect way to track the fabrics I use in each quilt. I just finished a quilt and started one of these using the background fabric as the base piece. I then placed little cuttings of each of the other fabrics I used in the quilt on top of the base piece. I secured them with basting spray until I was able to stitch them down. I wrapped it around a peg style clothesline and tied with a thin strip of fabric used in the quilt. I hand journaled on the back of the base piece who the quilt was for and when I finished it. I'm calling these my scrappy quilt journals. I've been looking for a way to document each quilt in a more tactile manner and this is perfect and so much fun! Thank you for this great idea and tute!!!!!!
Lovely idea to document your quilts in this way 🙂
Thank you for sharing
You are such an inspiration to me!
Hello from Canada! What a lovely idea! I've never seen anything like this before. Definitely going to make some. I have a collection of antique spools that would fit the bill perfectly! Thank you for sharing❤
Hello my pleasure ❤
The darns are so perfect. Treasure
The sheet scroll is just soooo amazing! As you said - the hands that have touched that, but also - the stories told while darning, the individual herstories of those women...
🥰 herstories ♥️
The scrolls are so beautiful. I cannot believe your thought to make the scroll of all the darn in the sheets.That was just incredible to see. Thank you for sharing!
Thank YOU for appreciating it ❤️❤️❤️
Your craft is enchanting! This would be a great thing for me to try, even if I can make only one. I’m living in my recliner due to incapacity from injury and arthritis. I mostly knit, but this craft will be a lovely distraction. Thank you for showing us the “how-to’s”.
Thank you so much I hope it brings you some joy, lots of love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Cool ive just started some slow stitching😊 and yeah its good for me i have fibromyalgia so doing alot would drain me but a bit here and there is better😊😊
Thank you, manageable little projects are perfect ❤️
I really appreciate the videos. Very calming before or at the end of a crazy day.
I am pleased you like them ♥️
This just popped into my feed, love ❤️ love ❤ love ❤ it! Thx for sharing!
🌱oh dear lady...that darning scroll brought tears to my eyes...the honouring their care combined with your patient epp...thank you 🎨🧵🪡🌷
Thank YOU for understanding... 🙏❤️
Thank you for this video. I have set aside one day on the weekends just for what is becoming my meditation scroll, and it’s such a wonderful mindfulness practice! No pressure. No judgement. Just joy.
So pleased and you are welcome 🤗
These are all just precious... what a lovely idea! ❤
Just absolutely Delightul..Thank you..!
That piece at the end. Incredible, all the history in it. Lovely someone kept it.
thank you, I feel honoured to own it, all that work by unknown hands.. ♥️
I’m enchanted!
This video is like having someone in the sewing room with me !! It was recommended by Sew stitching with sew salvage, so decided to do a quiet while and listen. Never to old to learn something new !!
Sorry I put the wrong name in - where I'd learned about your youtube - its Slow stitching with sew salavage. Some days the mind goes its own way at this age !! LOL
Hello miss, thank you for your videos, theyre very lovely and calming to listen to. I was having a hard time sleeping due to holiday anxiety and found myself endlessly scrolling through meditation videos looking for something when i found this video. Not what i was searching for, but it was far more effective. Your commentary and the visual of slow stitching are hypnotic in a way that had my mind quieting down almost instantly. It reminds me of when my late grandmother would sew up the rips in my toys when i was younger and make up stories about my toys adventures and how they "really" got their rips.
Thank you so much for your videos, i hope your holiday has been lovely and full of joy ❤
thank you so much, gives me so much pleasure to hear I have helped you in some small way ♥️ peaceful blessings for a happy new year 🥰
Just made my first one! It was sooo satisfying. Probably should be Christmas shopping, baking or wrapping but this was too addictive once I started!
Sorry not sorry to keep you from your Christmas chores... 😁😉❤️
@@k3n.clothtales 😁🤩🥰
@@RTiff Ahh, birds of a feather :) I can report I did my fair share of eating the cookies :)
im loving everything about this, thank you x

This video is so peaceful and fun! I loved seeing the darned sheets at the end too! Thank you so much for the video
Ваше творчество, Ваши работы такие уютные они вызывают у меня ностальгию по детству, воспоминания о бабушке рукодельнице. Помню, как я гордилась, получая а руки лоскутики, нитки и иголку, мне было 2-3 года. Спасибо Вам! ❤ Это чудесно и мило.
Thank you I am happy you had such a lovely woman in your life who introduced you to needle and cloth at such a young age ❤
I have planned a meditation scroll for over a year now and I’m glad I waited. Your video has been quite helpful in getting me started. I just cut out my foundation cloth and looking through my scraps basket. Thank you for doing this.
My pleasure 😊
My goodness, where did this lovely video come from, ha! I feel inspired, thank you sooo much. I made a quilt out of my dad’s shirts many years ago but still have left over scraps in a box that I just can’t part with….’n now I know what to do with them, yeh!
So pleased you liked it. Hope you enjoy making a scroll with your Dad's shirts ❤️
I really enjoy your voice conveying a sense of calm, as well as the wonderful projects you create.
Thank you so much 😊
Какая прелесть!!!
Это так мило!

I once got a huge bag of labels from clothing, be fun to make one using those
Yes that would be lovely ❤️
