    I first watched this video 2 weeks ago. I ordered the third kit (because the first 2 kits were already sold out), and had to chuckle because I have a ton of fabric stash, laces, threads, buttons, any embellishments! But I wanted to see how you made up your kit. My package arrived today and now all I want to do is put “bits and bobs” together and stitch them down. Never mind anything else that needs to get done. I find it calming and yet creative, mindful, relaxing, centering. I made a “stitch pocket” while waiting for your kit to arrive. Now, once I have the pieces and placements decided, I can keep the project in the stitch pocket with threads, needles and scissors and always have it near to pull out and “stitch a bit,” no matter where I am. ‘So much better than pulling out the phone to follow mindlessly! I’ve sewn, stitched, embroidered, crocheted all my life. In this digital age I’d almost forgotten how enjoyable slow stitching is. Thanks for helping me get back into this! (Joyce from Arkansas.)

    I have been a Patchwork and Quilter for many years and really enjoy the process from start to finish.I also make soft toys etc; for my grandchildren. However my family are drowning in my quilts so have started to make them for Project Linus.I am so enjoying your tutorials Sarah - Thankyou. ! I have made some cards which I am very pleased with but will only give them to those I know will appreciate them. There are times when I need to just sit and do some mindful sewing and you have given me the excuse to do just that! I always need to take some hand sewing on holiday and this is such a great project. I have today bought a vintage cotton reel ….. Thankyou again.

    Sadly, I have a family member who is home 24/7 and resents it when I sit down and "do nothing useful" so I must be sneaky and find time & space to work on a project. This scroll work looks like something I can do! I can store everything i need in a shoebox that can be tucked away when not in use, and can just easily be pulled out to work on in short bursts & put away without taking up much space.
    I am still a novice when it comes to sewing by hand or machine, but am loving learning to do both, all via RUclips tutorials. Hand stitching is my favorite, so far, though, thanks mostly to Sarah's gentle, interesting methods of teaching. Perhaps this year I will be able to share some of my own work on World Embroidery Day... 👍😍🤩

      May you find enjoyment in finding a place to rejuvenate your self. Maybe a walk to the park bench or go visit with a friend and stitch along side each other. Be encouraged and doing a few stitches will keep you balanced. I'm thinking of making a bookmark a straight piece with a tassel or one that can wrap through your book and fasten with a button, a bag to hold future projects. I think any of these would make a thoughtful gift. Also just having them in a box or bowl or placed as decor next to your special chair are reminders you have accomplished a time for reprieve from the stresses of life. Happy stitching my friend.

      I have known people-men-who become enraged at the sight of a woman stitching or knitting. I have never fully understood why but I found with my father-in-law that sitting behind him and thus away from his field of vision allowed me to work in peace. It’s a bit comical that the people who complain the loudest are almost always sitting and doing nothing. I was lucky. My husband was a surgeon and he had a great appreciation for stitching and even taught me a thing or two.

    Hi Sarah. Just found you recently and I LOVE you & your videos. So informative. I’ve already learned so much. I’m not a beginner beginner but an intermediate beginner. If that makes sense. I learned how to embroider when I was very young from my mother. I was actually around 10 years old. I wasn’t taught the correct way(s) but nonetheless I learned the basics & I love to embroider. Thank you for the many videos on different things. So helpful! You’re great.

    Hey Sarah and Johnathan. Gramcracker here. I enjoyed the spool band video. Already made a big band ill be starting. Love the mushrooms 🍄 themed one. Probably will do some myself. Been crazy busy with keepsakes boxes and treasure books preparing as well as stitching projects. Need to complete keepsakes for all my kids and grandchildren I've been collecting items for throughout the years. Looking forward to adding embroidery and slow stitching to the works as well. Plus one of my other granddaughters love the jean jacket I stitched for my youngest granddaughter ao much she wants one too. That I'll be doing with a dragons theme. So 2024 will be busy. Will send pics and hopefully making stitching around the world this summer too. Take care and back to catching up on your videos from 2024. Hugs ❤️ 🫂

    My question is would you not have your fabric come to the edges of the piece at the beginning. Especially if you are stitching the fabric down, you won't be able to tuck a piece of fabric under it once it is stitched down.

    I'd love to have some vintage spools but sadly, I do not. However, I have got a buttload (which is equivalent to several dozen, depending on the size of the butt) of empty pill bottles, and I'll bet the larger ones would be great for this purpose. Doll them up with paper, lace, etc., and the bottles would pass, don't you think?

    Help please! I just found this last night and am excited to follow along, it looks like it could be just what I need as a beginner. I can see the playlist which says there are six videos, but the running stitch one which is the 2nd in the series I think, isn’t listed. One of the videos has a black box and says Private, I am thinking this must be the one I want to see next, gone peculiar for some reason. Can anyone post a link so I can get to it please? I want to do them in Sarah’s order. TIA.

    • @marinakitto6567
      @marinakitto6567 9 месяцев назад +1

      Of course it is, what an idiot! I am proving how much of a beginner I am. So the second one is the seed stitch, I will watch it now and I’ll no doubt see I haven’t missed anything. I guess I was confused too, because when I found the playlist, it says six videos but only five are viewable, to me at least. I must have FOMO big time.
      I do appreciate your fabulous teaching style, and the fact that this is free content. Unfortunately I’m in New Zealand so can’t reciprocate your kindness by buying from your store, as much as I’d love to, postage would be prohibitive.
      I got my beginning piece done today, ready to go. Thank you again.

When you click the link it will go to my Facebook group page. You then need to click the 'Join' button which will take you to some questions to answer.
