Making Slow Stitched Art Using Small Fabric Scraps

If you’re like me, you have buckets full of tiny scrap fabric sitting around waiting to be used. They can be used to stuff pin cushions and other fabric items, but we can also use them in our slow stitching projects.
I have used some of my smallest fabric scraps in this project along with some of my favourite embroidery stitches.
Pistil Stitch 4:18
Blanket Stitch 5:52
Chain Stitch 8:15

On occasion, I’ll show you how to do fabric appliqué, and needle turn appliqué.
Many of my pieces are great slow stitching for beginners. If you haven’t tried stitching before, I hope you feel inspired after watching my videos and give it a try!

Hi Jen: Smart using the sewable heat bond. Have lots to use up. The stitching around the heart is fabulous! Love the bead work. Thank you for sharing. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks so much! I have a big roll of it. Normally I use basting stitches but the pieces on this one were so small.

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

I love how you left that tiny green fabric tail alone!! I was wanting it to be cut!! ha ha, But it taught me something about leaving the fabrics as organic and naturally placed as possible. I'm glad you kept it. A real learning moment for me. I have to get out of the thought of fabrics being placed as orderly and 'tidied' up. This is a beautiful piece but honestly, everything you make is glorious!!

[@cookingjennfer]

Thank you! There’s beauty in keeping everything in order, too. 😊

[@roylynnhoenig7785]

Wow I don’t keep scraps that small but definitely have scraps baskets. What I need is beads and buttons and baubles. There is a consignment store that has a great big jar that I have my eye on! Thanks for sharing every detail, I’m learning a lot!

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks for watching! You can use the smallest scraps and threads to stuff pincushions or other items. I hope you are able to grow your collection of embellishments, it sounds like that jar has been calling your name!

Very inspirational. Have you ever tried using the feather stitch to attach the embroidered piece to the backing fabric?

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks! I haven’t but I bet that would be beautiful. That’s such a pretty stitch.

[@janharvey1024]

Fabulous work! How long , roughly, does it take for such an intricate piece to complete?

[@cookingjennfer]

I haven’t timed it and I rarely finish a piece in one sitting but I think a few hours.

[@ВалентинаПогодина-ш4щ]

Я не вижу ваших глаз,наверное они излучают какой то божественный свет. Второй день не могу оторваться от этой сказки. Ничего подобного не ощущала,наверное вы инопланетянка. Не может так работать фантазия у земного человека.... Почему я так заворожена. Мне хорошо. Ничего не хочу ,кроме вашего видео. Спасибо за всё,что вы созидаете. На коленях благодарю. Милая, милая девушка,живите дольше,я никогда не была так счастлива,видя это всё.... С вами бог.

[@cookingjennfer]

Thank you for this kind comment. I’m so glad the videos bring you joy!

Beautiful tutorial. 😍 where did you buy the little green tray? Thank you so much.

[@cookingjennfer]

Thanks! The pink thing? I’m trying to think if I used something green without rewatching video 😆. If you’re referring to the pink one it’s called a bead funnel tray. Used to pour beads back into a tube or bag. But I like to use it for other things.

[@SS-mk1rq]

Thank you. 😊
