I must have been a slow stitcher all my life, I do everything by hand. I am a quilter and do it all by hand one stitch at a time. Greetings from New Zealand
Hi Mary, welcome, from the state of West Virginia in the USA! So glad you stopped by! I have always done a lot of hand sewing, too. I had a hard time, at first, with this new concept of leaving raw edges exposed…lol. But, it is a nice change from “the rules” of stitching. Thanks for stopping by!
@@wildwoodholler We lived in New Jersey for about 11 years, we emigrated to the USA in 1956 from Scotland and then moved to New Zealand 1967. We visited West Virginia one year while on vacation the scenery was out of this world. It was a pleasure watching your video. I have enough fabric scraps (doing quilting) but have started collecting beads, buttons and lace etc. I don’t know if I will get much accomplished as I am 90 years old but will try my best. Best wishes.
@@Marysharp6366 Oh wow! Scotland, New Zealand…places I dream of seeing! Maybe one day. Enjoy your collecting! So nice to have met up with you here. Do you share any of your work online, like Instagram or Facebook? I have an Instagram account but haven’t shared much there. Hoping to get back to it though. The very best of wishes to you.
Slow Stitching or Japanese Boro Stitching is very popular now esp since Covid. It's a very mindful, intuitive and relaxing practice. You're right, there are no rules, there's no right or wrong, you just pick up a needle, some thread, some bits of old clothing and cut them up and go from there. I have a lot of health issues now, so I started sewing up little mug mats a couple years ago, and I haven't stopped since. It's really helping me to cope with my stress and worries, and fears. God Bless you for sharing your projects with us.
Thanks so much for watching my video and commenting. So sorry about your health issues ( I’ll say a prayer for you). Slow stitching really is good therapy. I hope to get some more slow stitching videos up soon. Thanks again for stopping by.❤️
@@wildwoodholler TY. I'm sorry I didn't see your comment until just now. I'm working on some new things now, still using the slow stitching method because it really is my zen zone :). God Bless!!!
I'm not very crafty, but this looks like something I could do. I love your eye for color combination color in fabric. This would be a good way to practice coordinating colors, too.
Thank you, Rhonda. I have always loved hand sewing, and I didn't call it "slow stitching" either. Seems like it's been catching on for some time now, and a lot of ladies are enjoying it. Scraps are great to craft with. Sometimes, you only need a very small piece to make a project pop. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the next videos. If you have friends that might like to follow along, share this video with them. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment!
Hi Rebecca! So glad you visited! I do have a video on how to get started slow stitching. Just follow this link below: th-cam.com/video/SEcroU_U_TY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for again for stopping by. Enjoy your slow stitch journey!
I use these for journal covers, zippered pouches, wall hangings, etc., although “slow stitching” is meant to be a meditative process, and one does it for relaxation and freedom from the “rules” of sewing . There are really no rules in slow stitching. Each person uses the pieces for different things or just for the sheer pleasure of hand stitching, using scrap fabrics, trims, buttons, etc., so that you aren’t cutting into your good materials. It’s also a good way to practice hand stitching and embroidery stitches. It’s really up to you! Happy stitching!

Thanks Angela, and thanks for coming back to visit me after my long absence from TH-cam! It's always nice to get comments from my subscribers.
I'm not very crafty, but this looks like something I could do. I love your eye for color combination color in fabric. This would be a good way to practice coordinating colors, too.
You could definitely do this! It’s easy for beginners to get started, and you would learn more as you work. Not expensive to get started, either.
Very cute. Great video as always
Thank you!
So pretty. I love slow stitching, even though I don't call it that. I love using fabrics in my crafts and I don't throw my scraps away either. Tfs ❤

What do you do with these pieces ?
