I’m learning embroidery because my husband has just been diagnosed with lung cancer we will be spending a lot of time at the hospital and I want something I can take with me to hopefully take my mind off of what my darling husband is going through I normally sew but I don’t want to take that up the hospital with me. Your videos have been an amazing help in my embroidery journey thank you
The good thing about embroidery is that it is ‘easy to manage’…….. you can just shove it into your embroidery bag quickly…… sometimes being in hospital you might have to move ‘pronto’. I love to do my crochet but once it gets too big it can be hard to manage…… that’s where individual squares come in handy. If I’m taking embroidery to hospital, make sure that you have got plenty of threads and scissors 😍. Good luck with all that’s coming, remember to breathe deeply when doctors/nurses speak to you ……it helps you concentrate and remember what they have told you….. a note book and pen are also a good idea. You are embarking on an important journey, you are your husband’s advocate as he may not be able to take things on board’at times’. Good, good, good luck. Put your bravery hat firmly on your head and walk into what might be a bit of a rough storm. You will have invisible arms around. Have faith.
@@christinenewell2679 thank you so much for your beautiful words they mean so much I'm having a tough morning we got devastating news yesterday and your words made me smile so thank you ❤️
@@keelyjohnston19 I’ve had my share of devastating news flashes……. my son, who was doing Theology exam at university was by my side and we received them together….. he helped me greatly, both mentally and physically (I had just had knee replacement) and that night he told me about ‘Faith’ …….. I have my husband, older but in good health…… I’m the one who had the stroke, !!!!! But, I learned about Faith , Hope and Love …. That’s not to say that sometimes my Hopes may be shaken, just listen to World News and one could be shaken to the very core. My husband’s 2 episodes of cancer were both benign but he had septic shock and very nearly didn’t recover…… ravaged his body, poor darling. I have seriously prayed to my God for your darling, may he come through this storm with his colours flying high.
Sarah, you’re always so sweet and so generous to give us free designs to try these new stitches. That’s one reason, among many others, why we love you and your Chanel.
I have to thank you Sarah for everything you have taught me. I recently made a ABC book for my great grandson and because of your inspiration and tutelage it was a magnificent hit. You pass on the Royal Academy knowledge with expertise and a wonderful voice and vocabulary to make for an incredibly enjoyable experience. Then you add in ginger cat too. You’re amazing!
When I saw the finished product I thought that it was beautiful but way more than I could do. After watching you create the designs, I realized that I could do this too. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Hi Sarah! Your excellent tutorial videos have helped me rekindle my interest in embroidery. My mom taught me when I was young and I am now picking it up again in my late 50's. My daughter just sent me a tote bag she'd like embroidered so I am working on this Jacobean design you offered free on your website. Thank you for being a great teacher--and I love seeing your cats!
Thank you for this. Your videos are so inspirational and so incredibly helpful and instructive, even I feel confident after watching, that I could be successful at trying my hand at these projects. 😁
You helped me with your varieties of combos and crewel- i did crewel worked decades and made Jacobean wool stitches of a bird - so I learned again from you, Sarah and love the classical music, too- Thank from my heart to yours! ❤❤❤😊
I have a crewel work project waiting in the wings, ready to start when I have finished a goldwork and silk shading one that needs all my concentration. It was so relaxing and inspiring to be able to watch you stitch - I feel much less tense now!! Thank you Sarah.
Birçok nakış tekniği biliyorum crewel nakışını yeni keşfettim çok da hoşuma gitti bütün teknikleri bu videoda toplanmış teşekkürler hanımefendi Turkiye'den sevgiler
I don't know anything about sewing or stitching, but I'm determined to learn this. I saw a Russian bag using those cute long beads, but the bag was $1k USD, 90k rubles. No way am I paying that. I'd rather embroider my own in a design I want. So here I am!
Hello Sarah just found you on U tube and I am really enjoying your videos, so much to learn. I am looking forward to working my way through them. Kind regards Anne
Thank you Sarah and Jonathan for a magnificent video. So mellow, so enjoyable and so instructive! I’m smitten with Jacobean and it’s inspiring to realize stitching it is totally doable. You’re THE BEST!!!! ❤
My viewthe instuction never show the super thanks button on any of your videos, not sure why and I've watched the majority of your videos. It has reignighted my interest in embroidery.. I didn't have anyone to teach me as a teen so I had to rely on the instructions that came with the kit. Now I see I've been doing a few things wrong and with your very excellent videos I'm learning how to do things the correct way. Thank you Sarah!
The Super Thanks button is underneath the video Susan, not on the video👍. I wouldn't say you can do hings 'wrong', but perhaps there are easier ways sometimes!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I learned some new stitches, both of which I really like - lattice and whipped wheel. I also really like how you used the blanket stitch on both sides of the 1 leaf section. The beautiful classical music was such a refreshing addition. As I watched your stitching, my mind's eye pictured a lovely prima ballerina. Thanks so much for all of your videos. Now that I'm a member, I really look forward to seeing the other Jacobean crewelwork embroidery. As a textile science major in college (1975-'80), of course we studied the history of various textiles like toile, tapestry and crewel which were some things I fell in love with. I'm thrilled to finally be learning how to stitch crewel embroidery. Thanks again!
Oh My Gosh!!! That was sooo nice and interesting to watch!! I have to say that I love the look of the Trellis Stitch. The close up camera shots made the viewing even better. Just beautiful. Thank you
Hi Sarah, I have just been watching your video on Jacobean Crewelwork. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The colours you have chosen work really well. You are so inspiring. I went to a class about 17 years ago, and did some Jacobean Crewel work, with Appletons wool. I really enjoyed it. I moved house a couple of months ago and now have my framed embroidery, up on the wall, in my new house, it brings back memories, of when I did the class. I cannot believe I embroidered it. I have done a little bit embroidery since then,😊 but not a lot. It is just getting my confidence up again and believing in myself, that I can do it. 😊❤
Hi Sarah! Question, does your shop ship to the US? I’m a brand new subie, as well as brand new to slow stick and embroidery. Loving all your videos, can’t stop watching. You share so much information and teach so well! Tyfs!!❤
Sarah, can you advise please? Can I use Anchor Tapestry wool for crewel work? Or is there special thread available for this purpose? Sorry to bother you but I thought I would go straight to the oracle for this answer! Best regards and thanks in advance. I've been given a pack as a gift as I don't do cross-stitch etc. Margaret Layhe.
Tapestry wool is a 4-ply wool Margaret where crewelwool is 2-ply. The former is meant for using on canvas and fabrics with holes so I think you might find it too thick for normal fabric even with a huge needle but by all means try some out and let me know how it goes! X
@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery thanks SO much for taking the time to reply. You're right....I'm sold on crewel wool now. I'll leave tapestry wool for other projects. Trying out some simple shapes using the stitches you demonstrated.
Oooh - I really like the whipped wheel stitch! Thank you for this video and for the downloadable designs!! I would like to spin my own thread for some Jacobean crewelwork. Do you have a suggested wraps per inch (or some other guideline) that I should aim for in my finished thread diameter? Thanks for any advice you may offer! 👍
I’m really REALLY new to embroidery and I’m not understanding how you start with the knot off to the side and then it just disappears. How do you handle the knot?
I think you mean when Sarah starts off with a “waste” knot? She just cuts it off after two small stitches and a few more stitches have been established. You’ll see her do this in most of her other videos too in closer depth. Hope that helps!

Great timing for me - I wanted to explore crewelwork this weekend! How did you know?? :)
