Slow stitching…so, turns out my favorite pastime has a name!! I’ve been doing this since I was about 8 years old…I’m 62 now. Glad the younger generation is catching onto such a peaceful hobby. My absolute favorite thing I’ve ever made “slow stitching” is a small cloth doll with embroidered face and five sweet little two piece outfits…all that fit all together, onto the space of my open hand. 🤗
I'm of the same generation, born in Europe; we did a LOT of hand embroidering and hand quilting from the time we were in first grade ... Still doing it, and my style is evolving to include fabric painting, bead embroidery and fabric 'paper'. This passtime/hobby is peaceful, it's useful and one can start without spending a lot of money. I make decorative pillow covers (12x12?) as gifts for family and friends, also journal covers.
When my daughter was young she had a pair of denim overalls and a little cotton flounce top (She was about 4 years old). Every night after she went to bed, I'd embroider something on one of them. I never planned it out, just stitched in the moment. She was always so excited to wake up to a new bug, flower, muppet, etc. on her clothes. They've been lost over time and many moves (she's 50 yrs old now) but she still has fond memories of them.
This was so inspirational to me. I saw this and immediately turned off my phone and went to get out my old embroidery stuff. I came back to leave this comment because it’s two days later and I’m committed to the nature journal now. I’ve embroidered prairie crocuses (they bloom this time of year where I live) and a bird inspired by the birds who made a nest outside my window. I just wanted to say that this was such a lovely video about such a wonderful concept. Thank you so much for posting it.
When I heard you say "I have fabric every where", I knew I was in the right place and subscribed immediately. It's so comforting to have someone who understands fabric obsession. My piles of fabric bring me such joy and most have old stories to tell. I'll be searching out your past videos and will look forward to future ones. Thank you for this wonderful video. Blessings.
I love to quilt, and do the piecing by hand. I see how this can be worked into a quilt. It’s so peaceful to start with just the choices of colors, patterns, laying it all out. My friends machine quilt, rotary cut, and speed sewing. I tell them it’s not a race. It’s peaceful and creative. This is a lovely channel.
Oh my goodness - that was 25 minutes of the most beautiful inspiration! Thank you for the expert guidance, Sherry . . . cannot wait to make a little pouch!
This is wonderful craftsmanship. and inspiring information. I would ask to see your work better if your hands did not cover or fan out so much over the finished stitching. It’s very tactile and lovely hands deter from the view. Thank you for this video
You can make a pocket for a tee or jacket or your denims, a journal cover, a decorative pillow (you can buy pillow forms in many sizes at craft stores), or if you're really ambitious, even a window or shower curtain (liner underneath for this one). You can work each small piece individually (while watching TV? Or listening to a book?), then put them together into a larger project. So many ideas ... thank you @sherryiris. You have a new subscriber (Florida here)
The Concise British Flora I've had for 35 years since I was at school - and I use it all the time as I teach Science (specifically biology) - but I would never have thought of using it, or any other nature books, for inspiration. And it's one of my most favourite of all books. What a great idea!!! Thank you so much for that.
This is the most enjoyable morning I’ve had in many years, sipping coffee, listening to the birds outside with the windows open and watching this video . I’m so glad , I stumbled upon your channel ,, lovely work .
I have always struggled to understand how to start slow stitching, which supplies I needed etc...I am so glad that youtube recommended your video as you explained every step in a very clear way🫠😊🥰 Binge-watching has officially started😂 Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and tips, very inspiring for sure🌿🌿
I have just discovered slow stitching. This is more satisfying than a quilt. My sis does machine-stitched quilts. I enjoy hand stitching and this just fits my style as I have made penny rugs which is wool art. Both are relaxing. I haven't sewn for years and gave away all my material when we moved. I expect I will have to hang out at garage sales and thrift store to fine materials. I can't wait.
Thank you so much! This is so kind of you to share your knowledge! I think crafting makes such a difference in everyone’s life that gives it a chance. I hope you have a lovely week.
Thank you so much, totally inspiring. I was excited to find a bag of assorted cotton reels in an emporium last week. Sylko real cotton, not polyester, and a lovely range of colours. All new and unused.
What a lovely video, thank you for sharing your talents with us. I have so many scraps as I’m a quilter so I really shouldn’t be buying any more fabric, but I can’t resist 😅
At school I remember doing a needlework project that involved researching different fabrics, and local companies were wonderful for giving me small samples. It was many decades ago, in Manchester, which was a big centre for fabric manufacture and when I was a child it was already an industry in decline, but still a great place to find interesting fabrics. I remember getting a big bag of printed cotton remnants from a little shop near Piccadilly, and they were great quality and colour-fast.
I loved this! Thank you for a beautiful, inspiring introduction to slow stitching. Now I have something I actually want to do with all my off cuts of material that I can't seem to let go of!
This may sound very strange coming from me haha, but you have very beautiful hands. They remind me of my mum's hands. She also taught me how to do embroidery, and she created lots of lovely pieces throughout her life :)
I've always been a _"the journey is more important than arriving at the destination"_ kind of person, so I really loved this video. Whether I'm crocheting, hand sewing a (simple) garment, mending, or even just enjoying a cup of tea while writing in my journal...using my hands in such slow, deliberate ways always puts me in a state of relaxed mindfulness. And that state of mindfulness is such a wondrous luxury in this often too-hurried pace of modern living. Your pieces are absolutely beautiful! thank you for sharing them. 💖
I call these Fabric Sandwiches. I like upcycling real silk sari offcuts (bought from an auction site). One project: I machine-stitched the small lengths together to create 2 x square pieces then hand-stitched on handmade carnations and their leaves to create a 3d cushion. 💮💮💮
Lovely video I wanted to do this but didnt know how to start so small as i have tiny pieces of fabric i sidnt want to throw away. Thank you for giving me the inspiration
That was inspiring !! I'm not a novice stitcher and have wanted to start slow stitching for a long time but have never taken the plunge. I have all the ingredients that you've just mentioned and now I feel able to start the journey. Thank you.
Oh my goodness.... I learned so much!! I have been collecting tutorial files because it looks like such relaxing forms of creating soft art.... I have been so inspired now!!! I know what I want to do!! Thank you for sharing this ❤
This is just lovely Sherry, thank you so much for sharing your embroidery knowledge and ideas. I have now started my nature journal, thank you always for the inspiration. Carrie xx
I've been waiting for this video. Looking forward to starting working on a bigger piece and taking my time to work on it for an extended period of time, like your year Nature stitch journal. I've been Slow Stitching for a few years now, I love doing it but I always seem to be in a rush to finish whatever I'm working on. So my plan is too use this project to put the slow into my Slow Stitching. To take the time to add fabrics and stitches for the pleasure of it, rather than to finish the project as quickly as I can. My theme for the this piece of work is Memories. Looking forward to watching your future videos.
Oh I know exactly what you mean Jacqui! The year long stitched journal means that there isn't a rush to finish. You can take a break from it too and it will be there waiting for you although I'm pretty obsessed with mine! The idea of memories sounds wonderful! Thank you so much for watching xx
What a lovely and inspiring video - beautifully done. Nature has so much to offer us for stitching. A lovely nature journal might just be in my future. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us.
The most fun thing about this video is how passionate you are about the subject. You make me excited about it. Ive just started a foray into sewing, but I think I might try this, I just hope I would get as much enjoyment out of it as you do. ☺️
Hi Sherry, Sweet Peas as my favourite flowers, they were my mum's favourite so I aways think of her when I see them. A little while ago I ordered your beautiful Peonies and Sweet Peas bouquet and together with another full skein of yours I made Helen Stuarts Dust of Snow , the yarn is so beautiful and its a beautiful reminder of my mum xx
WOW LOVE this somehow it just popped up in my You Tube (I am an embroiderer hand appliqué and cross stitch nut) I Love hand work … I had never heard of this but by golly I’m excited to start !!!… THANK YOU so much for introducing me to this and I will be following all your tutorials and clips …. Your work is beautiful and so unique/one of a kind each piece … happy stitching 💖🌸
What a beaytuful video. There is something very soothing & calming about it. Your voice & way of talking is very calming. I have the same love for fabric & threads & yarn. Ivdo crochet & embroidary but never knew what to do with all the fabris scraps I've collected. I don't know machine sewing. I always wanted this kind of stiching, creating something beautiful but not very organized & without worrying about the perfect measurments. Thank you so much for creating the video...💝💖
I’m new to your channel and loved it. I’m so in love with laces and know some stitchers my grandmother taught me long ago. Thank you and I will be listening in!
The objects you stitch are so pretty! I am very inspired to do a monthly “journal” of flowers and/or fruits according to calendar months. Perhaps, to make fabric covers for my journaling, or just to frame. I am even thinking how pretty it would be to take the stitched fabric and make a lampshade! ✌️👍❤️😁
Love this ! I feel really inspired, I love the embroidered words flowing through your work, just beautiful, can I ask what stitch you use for your lettering and thickness of thread ? New subscriber here , thank you for sharing your tips on how to get started 😊
Hi Molly :) Thank you for your message, I tend to use split stitch for my stitching and two strands of embroidery floss. I'm going to do a little video soon on embroidering words as there are many options x
Just found this video thank you for sharing your work very talented lady, I'm interested in slow stitching myself😍 at 68 I can sit and sew anytime love birds and nature
Thank you for this unfussy tutorial and I love gardening! I am of the vintage where I used to have all your shown books ! So thank you for the ideas and where to start ! Anya
So glad I found you. I quilt and did some embroidery as a child. I’d love to the bee. Just start simple. Then move on to the wild flowers you were showing. I will have to get a small hoop, needles for embroidery, I think a piece of linen. Could 8 just get a pattern for the bee and if so where do I get patterns. We use to get them and iron them on. That is where I am but so looking forward to getting started. Thanks so much. Linda
So loved this video showing us all the different projects using slow stitching!!😍. Looking forward to future videos showing more details about how it is all done. Thank You🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Truly inspiring. I have teenagers now... I keep every darned thing. I have so much fabric piled up on my dryer🙄😂. I'm so glad I watched this video today. I have done embroidery type things before, I feel like I've learned a lot here. Thank you!! Love the things you've made=)

That's so sad they got lost.
Such a brilliant idea!
Love the slow stitching
Beautiful memories ❤ I hope you’re still stitching 🧵

Yes, she also had me sold at "keep everything" because I have soo many tiny little scraps that I think are just beautiful.
Me too.
Me three!

Happy dance! Let me know how you get on and thank you so much for watching the video xx
debfelix3061 I think the video is perfectly fine as is. You could request a show and tell if you're nosey! I admit I'd like a good look too!😂😂😄
You can make a pocket for a tee or jacket or your denims, a journal cover, a decorative pillow (you can buy pillow forms in many sizes at craft stores), or if you're really ambitious, even a window or shower curtain (liner underneath for this one). You can work each small piece individually (while watching TV? Or listening to a book?), then put them together into a larger project. So many ideas ... thank you @sherryiris.

Yippee! xx
I’m new to your channel and loved it. I’m so in love with laces and know some stitchers my grandmother taught me long ago. Thank you and I will be listening in!
The objects you stitch are so pretty! I am very inspired to do a monthly “journal” of flowers and/or fruits according to calendar months. Perhaps, to make fabric covers for my journaling, or just to frame. I am even thinking how pretty it would be to take the stitched fabric and make a lampshade! ✌️👍❤️😁
This was a great video. I am a knitter and a quilter. I think I will try this. Thank you for sharing.
So pleased you’re going to try it! Xx
So beautiful. So tempting. I'm just thinking that if i got started on this, what impact it ould have on my latent hoarding tendencies...
Just perfect in every way 🥰👏🏼🥰 I’ve been slow stitching for a little while and loved all your advice and beautiful work . Stunning Thankyou xxx
Slow stitching is so relaxing isn't it? Thank you for your lovely message xx

Thank you ! really looking forward to that 🌸
The box pouch would be nice to cover plant pots. Nice inspiration.
This inspires me to slow stitch a pair of gauzy floaty summer curtains 😍😍
I love your pouch. It's so pretty! It inspires me.
How wonderful. Your work is so lovely 🌹 Now I _have_ to subscribe.

Yes! A lovely idea x
Beautiful work!
Beautiful, Sherry, thank you :)
