As the chill of winter is beginning to be felt, the cozy warmth of my sewing room becomes a haven of creativity. I've been immersed in creating patterns for my Four Seasons Slow Stitch Course, and I’m happy to announce that the first pattern - Purple Winter, Slow Stitch Embroidery - is now available in the stores!
In the next few weeks, my students will be working on their own slow stitch pieces using this new pattern, and I am looking forward to sharing their beautiful creations with you.
Sharing the Journey with My Students
One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching is seeing my students’ original interpretations of my patterns. Each student takes the patterns somewhere else.
I’ll be showcasing their creations on my blog and YouTube channel in the coming weeks. I hope this inspires you to try your hand at slow stitching, whether you're an experienced embroiderer or just starting out.
The process of creating a slow stitched piece is surprisingly satisfying. For one, the portability of the project is a plus. You can take it anywhere, on a bus ride, or even a train ride.
A Basic Stitch Library for the Purple Winter, Slow Stitch Embroidery
To support my students and fellow slow stitchers, I have created a basic stitch library on YouTube.
This library serves as a helpful resource, showcasing a number different stitches and techniques that can be applied in slow stitching and embroidery.
I plan to add new content over time. Whether you're looking to master a specific stitch or explore decorative embellishments like French knots, I hope you find this resource helpful.
Experimenting with Techniques and Scrap Fabrics
Alongside developing the winter pattern and stitch library, I have enjoyed experimenting with different techniques and leftover fabrics. Using scraps can be liberating, allowing for creativity without the pressure of perfection.
I have been focusing on mixing textures and colors to create depth in my pieces. This exploration led to the creation of an elements library on my YouTube channel, where I'll share various tips, tricks, and tutorials for effectively using scrap fabrics in slow stitching.
The Next Winter Slow Stitch Piece
I'm currently working on my second winter slow stitch piece, challenging myself to explore techniques I haven't tried before.
This piece will include elements from my earlier experiments, blending different stitches and textures into an interesting design.
It will be a rectangle shape this time and I think it will be stretched over a small wooden board.
I try to use found objects rather than purchasing new items except for tools which are sometimes necessary to purchase.
Make sure to check out my YouTube channel for the basic stitch library and the elements library, where I’ll be sharing techniques and tips from my experiments.
