    I just LOVE all your beautiful pieces! I was ending up with so many little pieces in my collection that I had slow stitched in some way or another so I started a fabric journal of a large size. The cover is 12 inches by 9 inches and I am just filling the muslin (calico) pages with pieces of slow stitch work. The book is turning out really nice. Thank you for share of love for fabric art! I have gathered so much inspiration from you! I do not always comment because I am usually busy stitching but believe me, I have LOVED each and everyone of your videos! Hugs and blessings to you

    Slow stitching is so relaxing. I'm sure it should be prescribed by doctors. I have been inspired so much lately by yourself and others to use fabric more and stitching is a new found passion. Bit by bit l am learning new terms and stitches. My memory isn't good so l have a written glossary with a sample attached for each one. Look how beautifully your colours came together with your fabrics and cut outs.
    I'm hoping for some rainy days soon so l can sit inside and stitch.
    Thanks for sharing. Hugs.

    Hi Sonya, thank you so very much for creating your channel 🙏you are such a pleasure to watch and to listen to, I love watching your videos especially when I need cheering up.😊
    The stitching I think your referring to is called Kantha stitching, it's originally from India and it's a really lovely tradition where the mothers and grandmothers create bedspreads, shawls and all sorts of items from different pieces of fabric for their daughters and family members. Each stitch is meant to represent part of them and their life and how they were feeling at the time, so as the children have a wonderful keepsake after their loved ones are gone. I think it's a really beautiful tradition 💕
    I've only just discovered it and it's a wonderfully meditative process as you said especially sitting in front of the telly.
    There is another similar type of stitching called sashiko that is Japanese, that is a lot more detailed, and involves having eight or nine stitches on your needle at once, and them all being the same size! It's beautiful to look at, but it looks painstakingly hard to me, as you have to be so accurate, I much prefer sewing that is easy and fun just like your doing.
    Sorry for the long explanation I just like learning about the history of sewing and sharing traditions and where they come from is always interesting to me.
    Thanks again for showing us how easy and fun this is, whenever I'm a bit nervous about trying something new I watch your videos and your no fuss, laid back fun style (and your giggles) takes the pressure off and you get me grabbing out my fabric bag and I start sewing along with you, your a gem, big hugs from a fellow Aussie 😊x

      Well done on being such a wonderful teacher to us all 😊

    • @longyarn4288
      @longyarn4288 4 года назад

      I know this comment thread is old, but I just wanted to add that you should check out SashiCo here on YT, as he has a different take on Sashiko - that it should be relaxing and meditative and that the stitches don't have to be so precise, nor the finished product so precious. He grew up doing Sashiko so he's worth listening to. He does live streams in both English and Japanese. ☺

    FrankenFabric is an awesome name for this.Though, "Family Fabric" would better describe what Ineed to do.Slow stitching seems to be something else entirely...I've collected so many bits & pieces of pretty fabrics, notions, & trim, not to mention all the pieces I cut from old stained linens of my grandmothers embroidery. I have her button collection, I played with 45 years ago too. I also found soo many keepsakes & family baby clothes, blankies., & dance outfits when Mom passed too that I've been trying to figure out what to do with i all before they're too damaged. I can't bear to throw hem out or donate them... thought about a crazy quilt, but I'm pretty much a self taught sewer/ embroiderer & paper crafter so a quilt is too ambitious at this point..LOVE ribbon embroidery so much. too & making a journal with these keepsakes& stuff & writing about them inside the journal fits my purpose so well. It would be something special I can pass to the next gen since I'm the last of us...something to memorialize everyone. THANK YOU so much for inspiring this idea. I'd appreciate any advice or wisdom you could offer on organizing/categorizing it so I end up with something that makes sense, won't take 10 years, & doesn't look like a 5 year old did it....lol. THANKS

    did you hand sew around those dictionary pages on the pictures?? I see hand stitches. also,I like that you folded the rough edges in. on the slow stitched piece.not a fan of frayed edges.I like it,but it is not for me. don't buy blankets or shawls with tassels. not me.
