I'm new to slow stitching and this is the most helpful video I have found. Thank you Susan
One of the best things about slow stitching is you never know how it will turn out. Love your ideas.❤️
I like how you suggest coordinating and laying out the background first (limiting choices) to help prevent being overwhelmed by too many choices. Exciting to watch you test layouts. TFS your technique!
I just love the way you combine the colors and the mediums. When I see the piles of fabrics and yarns and threads it puts such a smile on my face and happiness in my heart. One question I had wanted to ask was how do you store your items by color or by weight. Yarns together? Threads together? Give us a few hints. And we appreciate the work that you do
Your art is magical. Thank you for sharing
Project stashing is so soothing. I like going ‘shopping’ from my stash too. Sometimes they’re just ideas wrapped in a t-shirt, but dumping one out and combing through helps when I am anxious….thanks for sharing..Kath🌾
That is the way of it. Some pieces need to grow awhile….petting them is reason enough to have them anyway….Some have all the glamour but no ready road……some are single bits slowly accreting their companions (tho’ some things just grab my attention right away, shouting what they need to be.)…and yes…those lovely packets of potential waiting…..🌾…. Kath
Delicious!!!!!! This is a great video on percolating beginning project ideas. Such yummy colors & textures! THANK You!!
That purple project looks pretty, so many beautiful shades. I bought felt about a month ago and I want to do exactly what you’re describing in this video. I want to tack down the fabric, paint, then stitch. Thanks.
Hi Susan just came across your easy slow stich project at the right time as I have lost my mojo, but am inspired again 😁 TFS your wonderful talent 😘
Great and inspiring video. Love your fabrics!
Great use for all the old felt i have left over from the African violet watering trays
ASOLUTELY GORGEOUS…SO BEAUTIFUL. 👍
So many choices! Composition is one of my favorite steps when starting new projects. TFS!
Very pretty projects!
Awesome suggestions and ideas! You’re soooo inspiring ❤️💙💜🧡💚🖤💗💛♥️
So cool. TFS. 🐞🥰
Awesome
Love that first piece of wool! I see a beautiful stitched pencil cup in the future! Wrap your stitchery around a can or something similar and glue it in place and then let me know when it's ready for me to purchase. 😉 (Okay, maybe I need to make my own... In fact, there's an empty olive can in the recycling bin right now... 😁)
Thankyou so much Susan 😊
@@SusanTaylorBrown thankyou ❤️
Beautiful!❤
Thank you! 😊
Love all the colors and threads ❤Could you show us how you would hang it if you made it wall art please?
I love the colors and thresd you have chosen - not sure how you would paint on fabric, but I'll watch more videos to see what you mean. This is a great example of your process and is a big help to me. I love your fabrics - I just have cottons right now, need to get more variety.
I buy cheap 2nd hand clothes in charity shops/thrift shops and cut them up. Good way to find what I need for less money!
Such a helpful video, thank you! I want to make a cover for a journal; it will be my first slow stitched project. So would I embellish my base fabric, then back it with other fabric or felt? I wouldn’t embroider through cotton and felt correct? Thank you so much
Beginner here! I love the idea of starting on felt! However i have a sensory aversion to acrylic felt. Any reason wool felt would not be a good idea? Is the density of the fibers an issue at all?
Wool felt is a joy to stitch on! I also stitch on regular wool. Or wool clothing I buy and felt it a bit in the washing machine.
@@SusanTaylorBrown Oh my gosh, you have just given me a great idea. I have a wool sweater that has been washed numerous times and is now 3 sizes too small. I am brand new to slow stitching and would never have thought to use it as wool felt. Because that's all it basically is now 😁. Thanks!!
@@sbffsbrarbrr glad you were inspired. Sounds like a perfect project.
I want to use it in clothing upcycle maybe jeans any suggestions
Do you mean you want to put some various slow stitch Textile bits on some jeans for recycling? Dylan thing I would worry about is if you color any fabric with some thing like a water-based paint you might lose color when you wash it, so any kind of the distress, paints or regular water colors are going to wash out when you wash the clothes. Otherwise pretty much anything goes. I’m sorry if I didn’t quite understand your question.
@@SusanTaylorBrown Yes Thank you for responding
Love those autumn colours Susan. Your such an inspiration.
Is there a cotton material that could be used as a base instead of felt?
You can use any fabric you can get your needle through.😀 I used to use a lot of felt. Now I often use old sheets or cotton. Whatever is on hand.
What is a "vessel"?
A Vessel Is A Container
So puzzled by a vessel, all the liquid will need a waterproof lining?
While I know that the proper definition of a vessel would be for holding liquids in the art community it is often used to describe a container of any kind. Think of it a vertical fabric bowl or vase if you like. It will not hold liquid and I apologize for misleading you.
I believe it is obvious she is talking about such things as pencils, dry paint brushes, etc.
I didn't know what a vessel in this case would be - I was going to ask. I am not in the arts community....glad to know - I could use a pencil holder etc. or make a shallow bowl!
Vessels for what?
@@SusanTaylorBrown ooh ok. Thank you 😊
