Today's Video is the First of 2 Parts. I'll show you 6 ways to hand stitch "paired" scrap fabrics to create new cloth.
Part 2: we will make a NeedleBook using our unique cloth. Very relaxing and definitely a great way to recycle bits of leftover fabric.

DISCLAIMER: Guess what??? There's only 6 ways of making Scrappy Patches not 7! But there are 2 ways of basting, I must have gone into a coma when I was counting and included one of the basting stitches? I don't know! I told you.... I'm Aging Creatively and Gratefully and I'm grateful I can make these videos at all so, expect MISTAKES! 🤣
😂 thanks for your enjoyable videos.
@@vickiwallace4453 you are so welcome! ♥
😂 Jeri I'm 77yrs and just a beginner so, make all the mistakes you want, it makes me feel more comfortable😂 I love your videos. You are such a good teacher. Thanks for sharing😊❤
@@Trish-oq5qk Well, get ready to be REALLY comfortable, I make a lot of mistakes! LOL ♥
Thank you for sharing Jeri….love the slow stitching patches - such a fun idea. I like to write about my finished patch. My recent one had the number 25 on a scrap piece and after I had finished it (only 5x5 inch) intuitively I wrote a paragraph about what was happening in my life when I was 25. I love these unplanned works where you follow what your soul dictates and I put them in a hand made book - one per week. So hopefully by the end of the year I’ll have not only some lovely stitched work, but stories as well. Keep up the great work - greetings from Australia 🌻🌻🌻
I absolutely LOVE that idea! Keeping it small is a sure way to finish the pieces each week and keep a nice stitching practice going! 🩷
Thank you for such a clear tutorial. Your patches are lovely. I especially like the use of odds.
It is satisfying to use up bits isn't it?!!! Thanks for being. here! 🩷
Love your quilt with circles and squares❤
Thank you Sandra! 💜
Such a calming video watching you stitch with lovely neutral fabrics. Looking forward to next week! Hope your electricity isn’t out for long! We had almost 9 hours of light and heavy snow today, ending up with about 4 to 5 inches. Perfect day for stitching! 😉
Yes! And it's snowing here AGAIN today - This is my second winter in this house and last year, NADA snow! So disappointing! It's making up for it this year and I'm tickled. And I WILL be stitching today! Hugs 🩷
thanks so much for this video with all of these examples of how to deal with your scrappy bits. really helpful Jeri! i just watched it for the second time. i do love your color palette. all of those scraps play together so beautifully. thank you so much for making it for us all.
You're so welcome! Expect to see a few projects using this cloth, so maybe get some ready! 🤣 💜
Thank you for making these videos available to us. You give great instruction in a very friendly and nicely informal way. I've asked friends to put aside old clothes that are not good enough for the thrift shop--I will make them each a book or book cover. Maybe we can make it a group effort! My friends and I are all aging gratefully! Looking forward to more from you--thanks!
I love your idea! And I've been using a lot of recycled clothing when I want that old neutral look. The cloth is so soft! ❤️ Have fun with that group project! ❤️
Wonderful! You’ve helped me resolve issues that have kept me from slow stitching!
Oh that's GREAT! I wonder what your issues were, would you mind sharing? Thanks for watching! 🩷
I have no problem selecting fabric and colors, although my stash has a lot of ‘brightness’ because I’m a quilter. Your video encouraged me to turn to the vintage linens I have, however. What I was missing was how to assemble small pieces, how to create a unit out of smaller units. Perhaps I’m more challenged by the size (small), precisely because of the quilting? That said, I’m wondering if brighter scraps could be ‘tamed’ enough to use on the reduced scale? @@JeriBellini
@@kathleenmarch4756 I am SO glad you wrote back! I think they CAN and I'm going to experiment with that theory. So one idea that comes to mind is to tea dye them to tone them down. The other is to use the back. I'm a quilter too and have SO much fabric AND during Covid my husband and I got an account with Benartex Fabrics and sold their fabric in our shops, we have 3 Etsy shops... So we purchased a TON of beautiful but very abstract cotton quilting fabrics. Sold off a lot for masks but still have a LOT left. Have been trying to figure out a way to use them and also give others ideas of how to use them. Just so happen to have some on my desk to play with. Stay tuned for a video! 🩷
This is exciting. I love minimal (= vintage), but my heart is also with colors. I need both. In my next life I will work in textile design. @@JeriBellini
@@kathleenmarch4756 I vacillate between color and organic, and why, because I can!
Hello , I just discovered slow stitching….thank you for this video 😊
You are so welcome, I don't know how we all went on before slow stitching! 😂 🩷
You have made me appreciate the parts of clothing that I did not think I could use. Will be saving them from now on and using in little projects. Thanks!
Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that! Next week I'm going to deconstruct a coat, stay tuned! LOL 💜
Love all these stitches. I enjoy slow stitching while watching TV. Thank you !
I just spent the night stitching myself! Thanks for watching! 🩷
Love love love your teaching style - thank you so much❤️
You are so welcome Sharon! 💜💜💜
Love your work and lovely tutorials! Thank you so much!❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here! ♥️
You already had me at the snow! ❤️👏🏼🌨️
LOL... It's snowing AGAIN right now! Thanks for watching Sally. 🩷
New to the channel . Very interesting . Thank you for sharing
Welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you stay awhile! 🩵
Just found your channel….loving it!
Welcome!! I'm glad we found each other! 🩷
OMG….this looks so fun! Thank you Jeri for sharing a fun technique with us. I’ve already emailed a group of traditional quilting friends to save tiny scraps of neutral fabrics for me! Let’s see what I get? 😃. Gayle in MN.
Oh that would be super fun to have a friend scrappy patch! 💜
Oh I love this project! Tomorrow I am going to pull out all my pieces and see what I can come up with. Thanks Jeri. You never cease to amaze.❤
YAY!!!! Can't wait! I must come up with a way to see everyones makes! Thank you SO much! 🩷
Hi Jeri. I loved this video ❤. Especially the segment on all the interesting bits that are a by product of taking clothing apart. I have a whole basket of those little bits because of their “cool” factor but never really sure how to use them. Such a good idea! Thank you for sharing your time.
Oh I'm so happy that you found "purpose" for your bits!!! 😉 🩷 Thank you for being here!!
What fun!! I love that you are making things out of the slow stitching!!
More to come!!! I want to do a stitching series meaning, make random stitched items, not always just slow stitch. Thanks for being here! 🩵
I love your videos and I don’t even do slow stitching (too busy knitting lol). Your work is so beautiful and whimsical and fun it’s an inspiration for the stuff I do. ❤
HA ! I Love this, that we can inspire one another and be doing something totally different. Have a wonderful day! ♥️
What fun to use different stitches in one project.....helps me overcome my ocd habits.
YES, shake it up, no boredom on this channel! LOL 🩷
LOVE the look of this - what a great use of tiny bits & pieces 🙂
Oh I'm glad you enjoyed it!
🩵
oh Jeri this looks wonderful - thank you xx
Hello Janet! Thanks so much for sharing your time with me, sending hugs and love! 🩷
Another fun video. I love all your ideas.❤❤❤
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
If power supply (issues with it) becomes a more permanent fixture in our lives, slow stitching will save our sanity. Or I'll wish I hadn't sold the old treadle machine...sigh...(too many house moves, it was getting beaten up). Thank you for using your precious phone battery to show us all the ways to make fabric from scraps too! 🙂
YES! And I lived in one house for over 30 years, raising my kids and have moved at least 5 times since then, I don't like it! I'm done moving (I HOPE) I had to get rid of so many things as well, it's a blessing and a curse! I do live a simpler life now and love it. Less is More! Hugs to you! 🩷
So lovely! i love that style!
Oh, I'm glad, hope you try it and join me next week for the needle book! 🩷
Wish I could give you another thumbs up, Jeri. I'm starting collecting scraps and little patches now for a piece to add to one of those king-sized pillow shams that comes with the new bedspread. It's slightly quilted already and a nice background color for little patches on top. Thanks again for all the idea.
OMGosh that sounds like a fun fairly easy project! Thank you for all your support Barb! 💛 I'm thinking about doing something, I may send you a message about it, so keep your eye out. hugs!
Thanks! Such fun. ")
Hi Karen, glad you liked it! Thank you! 🩷
❤
I too loved watching Jude Hill’s videos, which she seems to have stopped posting. Your way of working really resonates with me. Very inspiring.
Jude mostly blogs these days and I still follow her there. I love her work! Thanks for watching! 🩷
Can’t wait to try this. Looks like great fun and so relaxing.
Love the organic look you achieved
Thankful for this video...nice to be a "machine free" project. I too LOVE handiwork in the evening...quiet time! I enjoy your creative repurposed ideas. THANK you for sharing your ideas with us .... Enjoy your snow day💖
thank you SO much for your lovely comment. Believe it or not, the snow is still out there! It's been cold and so nice to cozy up with a stitching project in the evening! 🩷
I love your renegade spirit😊
Thank you! 💜💜💜

Jeri, thank you so much. I love these stitches. This video is going into my slow stitching playlist. -Barbara
Hey Barb, Thank YOU so much too and make sure to come back next week for the needle book video! 🩷
❤Thank you. I never 26:11 have thought of using little scraps to make these scrap needlebook
This looks like something I would really enjoy. I have plenty of scraps to work with, and I love to handstitch.

Love you Lala! I appreciate you sharing SO SO much! Spread the Joy! 🩷
Hi Jeri, enjoying your content and subscribed! I think a blouse made of this neutral scrappy fabric would be absolutely gorgeous.
What a GREAT idea!!! I was thinking of making a pair of loose/baggy pants with bigger patches. I thought that would be super fun! 🩷 And if I have a hot second, I will do that!! LOL
I very much enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
You are SO welcome! Thanks for watching. 🩷
That was really interesting.I like the way you work and the different ways you join your pieces.I also like your colour choices.Thank you
Thank YOU! I'm glad you're here, stay tuned for more!! 🩷
Your video is super helpful thanks for sharing I just subscribed 😁.
Welcome Aboard!!!! I'm glad you're here! 🩷
Thank you for another lovely video! It is really inspiring to watch your videos. 💝
I'm SO glad that you are enjoying them and I thank you so much for your comment!! 🩷
I’m not really into the slow stitch theme but it probably would be helpful or useful one of these days with a project.
Sure, you can make the patches with your machine and do something else with them! Thanks for watching! 🩵
I love these neutral collage pieces. 💖💖💖
thanks! They are very soothing, arent' they? ❤️
Thanks for sharing. I go about my stitching much the same way you do and it's so relaxing. Your video was in my suggested content and I'm glad to be here. I'm looking forward to watching pt. 2.
It's so nice to hear what others are doing, thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you're here and I'll see you next week Michelle! 🩷
Awesome
I appreciate you! 🩷
Luv the whip stitch stitch!
My Fav!!! 🩷
Good video with great information. I learned a couple things.
Jude Hill was my introduction to slow stitching.
I love your color palette.
hi India, I'm glad you liked it and I LOVE Jude, you got a great start with her... are you in her Forever zone? Thanks for being here! 🩷
I love your instruction style ❤ and teaching is so 😍

Thanks for watching!!! 🩷
Just found you. Love your work. New sub
Welcome to my world! Thank you for deciding to hang around! 🩷
This is lovely, thanks so much for the video x
You are So welcome, thanks for watching! 🩷
Thank you, very interesting, I’m going to try these. Very clear Instructions. I was always taught to sew towards myself so when I do my whip stitch I sew from the far side towards myself with needle pointing towards me. I wonder how many of us do this.
Now I'm going to have to try that! Thanks for sharing. I learn so much from the comments, Have a great day! 🩷
What a great video ❤️Thank you !
Well thank you very much Cheryl! I appreciate you! 🩷
Great video! Makes me want to stitch 😊
That's wonderful! That makes me happy! 🩷
I just realized that the black stitches look like beading from a distance. …beading as in one of the fine cotton bits used in that fancy hand stitching used when making baby clothes back many years ago. No, I never got so far as to make anything but I would drool over the results. In reality, it was holes, not something that was black….
Interesting how our mind sees things… thanks for watching! 💜
Peek boo! Stitch
🤣 I like that!
0:13 i like watching your video and listening your voice.i learn english with you too. Huges from italy❤
Oh Hugs back at you! And thank you so much for being here all the way from Italy! 🩷
@@JeriBellini i dont do slow stich. At mom i am sewing a bed runner.have you been in italy?
@@giuliafavaccio2116 No I have not, but I have family who have been. My ancestors were from Italy.
@@JeriBellini wow! From where if i may ask? I am from florence but i live near roma. I have white hairs as you have i think we are...more or less same age!
Thanks for the referral of Jude! How does she die the circles? Do you have a video on it? Thanks
I'll do a video on my dots. She loves circles in general. Do check her out! 🩷
This was soo interesting and informative.. thank you soo much. Your work is exquisite. What size and kind of needles are best?
I really like embroidery needles but I love to go to a fabric shop and just look at them. You might find something else you like better. I like them strong, but thin and sharp. I think I'm using a size 7 and maybe an 8. I have a bunch of needles going at the same time. Thanks for your comment! 🩷
Do you have a video showing how you pull each thread apart? I hear you say one strand and two strands. I have never used embroidery thread before.
No, I do not, but it’s easy, so it’s 6 strand embroidery floss, just hold it between two fingers and grab one strand and pull out one at a time. That way you won’t get a big tangled knot.
Have fun! 🩷
@@JeriBellini I know that sounds so silly. But I was afraid to do that. I'm going to try. My husband's just brought his little embroidery kit down stairs and I told him how to do it so we're gonna give it a go.
@@ZeldaSews I'll show it during one of my videos! and it's not silly!!
So helpful! I really enjoyed this video. I took notes because I knew I wouldn’t remember everything in your 7 Stitches Demo. Did #7 include #6 since you said it’s 2 for one? I have a blank space in my notebook for #6. Thanks!
That's a GREAT question! I'm going to go back and Timestamp this and then I'll come back and answer your question. 🩵
So guess what?!?! I put TimeStamps in and there is NO number 6! I remember when I made that video I was having an insane week and had a bunch of do overs over and over... Obviously I miscounted. I'm glad you caught that. I corrected the description and now it is what it is! LOL
Check the TimeStamp if you need to look a particular part up. 🩵
@@JeriBellini I’m thrilled to have all of the new ways to stitch the patches! I lack for nothing. Thanks for going back and checking. I know exactly how it is to do something over and over. I really appreciate your videos just like they are. It’s like I’m sitting down with a friend when I watch. 😁👍
I was just looking for a needle book to make!what is the circle quilt behind you? Is there a tutorial?
I am going to HAVE to make a video on those pieces! I call them my dot a day series. It's what I did last year and have yet to decide what I want to do with them. 🩷
Do you attach your patches to anything such as batting or fabrics
It depends on what I'm doing with them. So in the next video where I make a small book, I don't. But then I do sometimes, it just depends on how it feels and what I'm doing with them.
I'm making a book now that I won't be gluing the piece down to anything, so I did use a thin backing cloth. I think if you watch the other videos it will make sense. I hope! 🩵😂😅
Hi Jeri, just a quick question, when you cut out your pieces from the fabric won't the seams come apart? I just can't wrap my head around it 😂❤
Possibly, but if you are careful, you can then tack the cut edges if you need to. YOu can also fold over the edges and baste it and depending on what you'll do with the piece, you can glue or stitch it down. Hope that helps. Experiment and enjoy the process! ❤️
🥰
Thank you! 🩵
