Slow Stitching Tutorial | Stitch with Me 2024 Fabric Workshop Prompt 6 | Snippet Roll Workshop

Slow Stitching Tutorial: Stitch with Me 2024 is an online workshop with monthly prompts. Throughout the year, monthly prompts will be released and participants follow along, creating their own versions of the prompts. #slowstitching #slowstitchingtutorial #stitchwithme2024
Understanding the Essence of Slow Stitching:
At its core, slow stitching is a mindful and intentional process that values the journey as much as the destination. This method of hand embroidery transcends the mere act of creating decorative patterns; it is a form of meditation that encourages a deep connection with the materials and fosters a sense of presence. The slow stitching tutorial presented here aims to demystify the art, providing you with a step-by-step guide to unlock your creativity.
Materials Needed for Your Slow Stitching Journey:
Fabric:
Begin by choosing a fabric that resonates with you. Whether it's a plain cotton canvas or a sentimental piece of cloth from your wardrobe, the material you select will form the foundation of your creation.
Thread:
Explore a spectrum of threads in terms of color, texture, and thickness. This diversity will add richness and depth to your slow stitching project. Consider combining natural fibers like cotton, wool, or linen for a tactile and authentic feel.
Needles:
Choose needles that complement your fabric and thread choices. The right needle ensures smooth stitching and a comfortable crafting experience.
The Steps to Slow Stitching Bliss:
Selecting Your Canvas:
Begin by choosing a piece of fabric as your canvas. This could be a blank slate or a canvas imbued with memories. Allow your intuition to guide you in this selection, as your choice sets the tone for the entire project.
Designing Your Story:
Unlike traditional embroidery patterns, slow stitching encourages free-form expression. Sketch a simple design or let your creativity flow without constraints. This is an opportunity to infuse your creation with personal narratives and emotions.
Thread Exploration:
Delve into the world of threads, experimenting with different colors, textures, and thicknesses. The aim is to create a dynamic and visually engaging piece that reflects your unique style.
Mindful Stitching:
Embrace the unhurried pace of slow stitching. Each stitch becomes a moment of mindfulness, allowing you to be fully present in the creative process. Let the rhythmic movement of the needle become a meditative practice.
Conclusion:
The art of slow stitching is a gentle reminder to slow down, appreciate the process, and savor the joy of creation. This slow stitching tutorial has provided a roadmap for your journey into this meditative craft. As you pick up your fabric, thread your needle, and embark on this therapeutic adventure, let the rhythm of your stitches guide you toward a masterpiece that encapsulates not only your creativity but also the serenity found in the deliberate pace of slow stitching.

[@isobeljambos8340]

Beautiful 🩷

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you!

[@Ladythyme]

Names are lovely to put together but also Look up Sigils… once designed they carry underlying meanings…. I find Putting these on fabric and maybe framing them or onto something to carry, kind of like a charm, is fun to do as well. 😊

[@DanielaMellen]

What a lovely idea! I think that's a fantastic way to extrapolate from the prompt. But aside from the prompt, I love that idea to use in stitching or other artwork.

[@yvonnemarcuzzi6722]

Daniella thank you for the video, this is such a beautiful craft, your ideas are so inspiring. Sending you a big hug from Italy. 😊

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you so much! I'm sending a hug back! ❤️

Hello Daniela, love your June prompt. So sweet. Looking forward to starting mine. Great to see you looking so well. Love your hair. 🙏

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauriemullins8140]

Just ran across your video for this month and think I will jump in and try to catch up. I haven't done slow stitching in awhile but did do one of your series in the past and loved using the prompts and thought this would be fun again. I have been wanting to make a snippnet roll for awhile and have been collecting pieces for over a year so I think it's time to start. I've been making a slow stitch project dedicated to each of my grandchildren so the one I want to work on now is a granddaughter whose hobby is photography. She has wonderful nature photos which I want to include in a snippet roll and create a story about her pictures. Maybe I'll call it " A stroll with Savannah". I think your prompts will be just what I need to get going. Wondering how you're doing "healthwise"? You look great in the video. Love the hairdo!

[@DanielaMellen]

I love how you're creating treasures for your granddaughters! And "A Stroll with Savannah" sounds precious. I appreciate the kind words, I'm feeling well ❤️

[@linaleblanc8288]

This is so beautiful. Ive never seen a snippet roll so gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@DanielaMellen]

Awww, thank you!

[@sis9622]

Thankyou for sharing. Love your hair!

[@DanielaMellen]

Oh thank you!

[@susanspisak65]

That adorable little hankie❤

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you!

[@user-lw9pp2ml1x]

Daniela thank you for the video.

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you for watching!

[@TUKByV]

Good evening!

[@DanielaMellen]

Hello there!

[@thevictorianedge5465]

Where could I learn to do a hand embroidered letter for a mini hanky like you did? I have never embroidered but I’m very willing to learn.

[@DanielaMellen]

I can make a video, showing my technique... Thank you for the suggestion.

[@bobbiepesson80]

Thank you didn’t understand products.

[@DanielaMellen]

[@IOSARBX]
