The Crafting Therapy that is Slow Stitching






 Sometimes maybe we are just too hard on OURSELVES




The idea that embroidery stitches need not be perfect may

linger in the minds of those who have spent little time 

with a needle and thread. This self-doubt should be 

discarded when embracing this style.

There are no wrong stitches, fabrics, or colour choices.

The essence lies in free interpretation.

No need for an expensive outlay for your first efforts.

Repurposing of fabrics, doilies, embroidery threads, 

can be all that is required for your first play.

If you have concerns about where and what to 

stitch, check out some embroidery designs online,

colouring book pages, the fabric may give you some 

Inspiration – is it swirls, lines, circles etc. 

A sewing machine not needed, the embroidery stitches 

also stop the fraying of the edges, holding it all in place.

Embellishments can be part of the fun. depending on

the purpose of the finished product.
