- Join me in some easy to do mindful hand embroidery suitable for beginners and advanced embroiderers and make a beautiful landscape inspired by a photograph or from your own imagination. These are easy to do and lots of fun; I used a recent trip to the Norwegian Fjords for my inspiration but you can adapt this technique to any image you like, a holiday memory or a place you would like to go!
I show you where to get fabrics from, how to choose them, how to layer your landscape and how to work the stitching.

After loving hours and hours of your videos and finally getting back to embroidery at the age of 77, this landscape slow stitching one has really spoken to me. I’m someone who has to touch fabric or just stare at it. I’ve just been in my closet looking at things I know I will never wear again and are too out of style to donate. Pieces of them will now come alive in a landscape!
This is a year later but I'm so inspired watching this. Thankyou for doing this. I'm not that well currently so enjoying these small projects that can turn into gifts.
I always give you a ‘like’ before I watch because I know I will.
Same 😀
Nice video. To anyone who doesn't have much of a selection of embroidery threads I thought I'd share my tip. My local thrift had a bin of old embroidery kits for 25 and 50 cents each but nothing that looked cute to actually stitch. I bought ten of them and when I got home I took out all the thread and tossed the rest and it gave me a big bowl of thread with nice variety. A few did have some nice fabrics also and I just turn them over and do my designs on the back.
I am so pleased that I have found your channel 😊 Your content is so inspiring and the way you teach is just a pleasure. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend 👋
I learn so much from you and I am beginning to understand your accent more, you are charming.
I think slows stitched landscapes would look great sewn onto cloth bags.
Beautiful piece. I can’t wait to try this!! Thank you for teaching all these techniques
I bought a book called "Applique Art" which is a similar discipline. The projects are detailed but your ideas are simpler and more achievable. Many thanks.
What an upcycling QUEEN thank you so much for always guiding me to become more creative using thrifted/worn fabrics 💛
I always appreciate your thoughtfulness and free education on hand embroidery
I have learned so much Sarah. Thank you :)
Hi my name is Janet November and I live in Pennsylvania. I am 68 years old and my Mother taught me to embroider when I was 12 years old. I got away from it for a while but I am back at it and loving every moment. This video is a true inspiration. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of this with us here on TH-cam. My 2 youngest granddaughters 8 - 9 have started to embroider and I am thrilled.
Your amazing, this channel has brought out an artistic embroidery desire in me. Not looking for a specific stitch. I have wanted to feel more artistic for many years. Thank you for the very calm and thorough videos 🎉 Nam Myoho Renge Kyo ☮️🙏
Your pieces turned out so pretty. I like how you emphasize that this should be fun, and to just enjoy playing with all the different fabrics. Thank you for another wonderful video. Take care, Arleen
10 years!! I just found you and am so happy I have! Love your work; it is beautiful.
That's beautiful Sarah, I am new to slow stitching and always wanted to learn embroidery, you are a real inspiration, thank you so much xx
Thank you for an inspirational video again. Not having a stash of fabrics I love the idea of finding children’s clothes to use. On the subject of silk ties my other half has told me I can’t cut up his beautiful Hermes silk tie… he’s such a spoilsport 😉
Yes probably best not to do that!
Yes probably best not to do that!
sorry I meant to hit the thumbs up button sheila from Australia
I wish I could follow and practice your videos daily all day..
Slow stitching is my first love, although I love embroidery, hand stitching with fabric is what I really love. Thanks for this!
Great to be with all the time! Very helpful! I learn a lot from you- thank you, Sarah!
So thankful for your ideas for stash items because I have none and I was worried about that ❤
Start to collect a few pieces here and there and you will soon have a collection!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery I’m going to start with scarves I have that I don’t really wear but are to good or expensive to throw out. Then I’m on to my mom’s closet…heh heh heh
Thanks!
Thank you Peggy!
Oh this is so fun. Your eye for detail is wonderful. Thank you
Sarah…thank you for have a button for order of your videos. It seems impossible to find this on ones own!!! This is beyond helpful !!
I love this type of project. Thank you, Sara, for your inspiration and tuition.
Such a great Video on slow stitching, thank you Sarah for all your great content. So relaxing watching you.
Your holiday sounds wonderful! I hope you are both well rested. I love the cute buttons you've used in your slow stitching projects.
Hi Sarah lovely video filled with inspiration, thanks Helen (patron)
Really beautiful project. So inspiring!
I love your tutorial and more😂❤- thank you❤
I love what you show me and appreciate all for slow stitching and landscape!!😊
Wonderful project.... and... I love the nice Summer blouse you are wearing (lol). Welcome back !
I just discovered your channel and so surly enjoying it. So easy to follow and understand. Give me lots of thoughts of next projects I can start. Look forward to seeing more.
Looking for unworn/old clothes in the wardrobe/closet is a great free resource. I've managed to find lots from the charity shops. I personally only buy adult clothes as I feel I'm depriving a family if I buy children's clothes especially in this cost of living crisis.
Just awesome tutorial. Thank you so much, as you say enjoy the process. Sending Hugs from NZ x
I loved your awesome vedios.I will try to do. This slow is useful to do landscape. Thank you for sharing. With tips.
I greatly appreciate everything you share with us. I've learned so much!!!! Xo
This was very interesting Sarah thankyou. I am wanting to do a slow stitched landscape next😊 You have given helpful tips. 🤗🌻🦋
My first time seeing this sort of craft it looks brilliant
Beautiful ideas Sarah. So inspirational ❤️
I cannot put into words how much I look forward to, and appreciate your Friday videos, Sarah. They really do inspire so much! Thank you.
I've had an idea for a landscape piece from a favorite photo and I've attempted to start it. But it just wasn't coming together right. I think a slow stitch method (if you can call it that) is the answer.
Thank you Kay! Xx

I went to a museum about an hour away from me that had embroidery and sampler pieces from the 1700's and later. Only one piece was from the U.S; the rest were from Europe. There was a gold work piece there that was beautiful. I took lots of pictures. The curator said the museum considers the collection their most prized possession. It is a smaller museum. The landscapes you did are pretty.
Which museum was that Heather?

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroideryIt was in the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe. It's kind of late tonight, but I'll see if I can get some pictures off my phone to email to you if you want.
Nice video! I do enjoy making slow stitched landscapes. Great idea about using thrifted kids clothes and ties! Thanks. 😃
Your holiday sounds lovely.
Another great place to get varied bits of fabric is to find someone selling sari scraps. I get mine on Etsy, but there must be other places to find them too.
you're so artistic !
Thank you Sarah, really enjoyed this video and I am glad you enjoyed your holiday. I do hope ginger cat was speaking to you when you returned or are you still in the dog house so to speak. You have had me looking in charity shops the past few weeks with a different focus and I have picked up quite a few bits and bobs lately . There is something satisfying about deconstructing small garments like ties and the satisfaction of finding small pieces of interesting material. I am on leave from work the next 2 weeks and I intend to slow stitch for some of this time so this video was timed beautifully.
Both cats forgave pretty quickly!! I bought a really horrible shaped top in a charity shop and felt I had to explain I was going to cut it up for the fabric!!!
You have such terrific ideas for stitching. I always enjoy your videos!
"Just take a photograph if you want realism" 😆Wonderful! A joy, as ever, seeing your creative process, Sarah, and I hope you had a fantastic trip to the fjords (which always make me think of Slartibartfast!)
🤣
Where do you get your mini wooden cutouts to sew on fabric?
Все очень замечательно, но ни чего не понятно. Хотелось бы на русском языке услышать
It’s nice to see you again after your holiday! Slow stitching is really relaxing 💕
Hi Sarah, it's lovely to see a new video from you after your well deserved break. I'm in the middle of a piece of goldwork with beads and cabochons for a deadline next week (!), so it was great to rest my eyes for a while and enjoy your slow stitching. I think a bit of sorting through old holiday photos, fabrics and threads sounds like a real treat for my next project. Regarding finding odds and ends of fabric if you don't have a stash, I have bought several sample fabric books from a local store that makes curtains and upholstery - they are really glad to get rid of them for a few pounds and I've had some gorgeous fabrics in them.
Great tip Denise!
I love it Sarah! Slow stitching is the prescription for stressful project work. I've just frogged out a motif on a project for the third time. Now all I want to do is slow stitch. Off to the charity shops today anyway!
Yes, you can't get slow stitching wrong! What's not to like!
So glad to hear that you two had a lovely getaway. I look forward to trying some slow stitching soon, and I'm especially glad for your tips about building a stash of fabric and materials...very helpful! Thank you!
Yes! I had never thought about shopping the children's section at the charity shop! Or the men's ties!
Great stuff, Sarah! And, kudos to Jonathan for remembering that ironing is key.
I keep going on about it that's why he remembers!!!
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your videos! It's a great pleasure to listen to you - I usually listen while doing something else. I've subscribed to your channel. Hello from St Petersburg, Russia. ♥️
Thank you Sarah! My Dad went through his wardrobe last year and gave me all his ties. They've been sitting in the corner for months now as I wasn't sure what to make with them. A landscape is a great idea 😊
They are just waiting for the right moment!
Greetings from Hungary :)
Keep sharing your marvellous work. 💝
Could you use interfacing as a backing fabric? Thanks
Yes!
Enjoyed watching, am planning on making a wall hanging only larger, I think. Love your channel, so relaxing to listen to and watch, thanks so much for sharing.
😊👍🏻❤️
❤
after wading thru a lot of videos I found yours. Love your presenting style, such a pleasant voice you have. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sarah, glad you both had a nice holiday, sounds like a very inspiring trip, and just love the two lovely landscapes, I've always wanted to see how this kind of thing is done, and once again am in awe and envy of your buttons, beads and trimmings stash - divine little sheep and moose!!. Usually it seems I am the sort of person who to try and 'let go and relax' to stitch something actually causes me to get very stressed instead!, it must be that lack of planning that you've mentioned previously yourself, however having recently worked on the background scene to 'Gerald' the bear, I did find it was extremely liberating to not have a clue how to put something together and just throw stuff at it instead, so your excellent influence and teaching is very much rubbing off, thank you
I like the planning part but sometimes it's very liberating to just throw some fabrics together and stitch really instinctively!!! I challenge you to try a piece! Don't show me up though...🤣x
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Trust me Sarah when I say that could NEVER be the case!!!!! x
Great video. Love all your details. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you🤗🤗
I really enjoy your videos, and I am going to attempt slow stitching, I just hope that I can get as creative as you in making the fabric pieces into a masterpiece!
Thank you 🦋
Love it !
im quite new to embroidery and im so glad i found your channel im loving the ideas and information xx
Hi from Norway.
That is so beautiful, I will try it.
Your book of needles is SO cute I've never seen one like that! I'll have to make one for myself!
I 'm not a quilter and I hadn't thought of using children's clothes so thanks for that tip! 😊
I loved your landscape project!
Thanks for a great video!
Thanks Martha x
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks
Thank you x
Stunning 😊

You could use some lovely earthy colours!
