Your channel came up in recommendations from KZbin - I’m really happy about that! This is just the sort of thing I love, and watching to learn a new skill is very helpful. I am partially disabled and don’t get out much, so it’s good to have small projects to do. I can’t manage big sewing jobs much now. And I must thank you so much for allowing us to hear just your gentle voice, without the addition of loud music to compete with human voice. I have a cognitive disfunction, which means that my brain can’t handle human voice with music overlaid, very loud, and turned on and off in quick succession. Almost all KZbinrs add music to their work, and it causes pain, dizziness and confusion, for the time I hear it, and then for about twenty minutes afterwards 😢 It’s got much worse as I’ve got older and since Covid!!! When I’ve asked politely if KZbin content makers would consider making videos without music, I sometimes get told, “turn the sound off”! Well of course I do that a lot of the time, but it’s lonely to live in total silence all day, every day. And also, I can’t learn anything if I don’t hear the instructions 😂😂😂 Anyway, thanks again for these lovely little ‘slow’ sewing projects. I can now make little gifts from all my spare fabric off cuts! Bless you ❤ xxx

I’m so glad you found my video! Most of my project videos lend themselves to working a bit at a time - easy to pick up and put down. Hope you find a project that sparks your interest. Slow stitching is a wonderful relaxing activity that I hope you enjoy! 😊🧵🪡

You have definitely inspired me…I started practicing some stitches and then began some Fiesta collages. I’m pending the backing now. Thanks again!!!

[@peaceofpi-studio]

That’s great to hear!😊🧵🪡

[@user-yp4ud5kj7g]

You have inspired me to begin using my Mom’s extensive collection of embroidery thread that she left me when she passed away. She was a consummate cross stitcher but I never felt comfortable with that art. This fits my interest in art quilting. Thanks

[@peaceofpi-studio]

What a great way to use your Mom’s thread!🩵😊🧵🪡

[@finehowareyou]

me too! i received a huge stash of fabrics and floss as well💕

[@lucyfanning7496]

[@clare9637]

So I am literally starting slow stitching today!! I've been gathering fabrics and materials but I wasn't sure where to start so this video has been really helpful to me. I hadn't thought of making such a small piece but it's a much less intimidating idea than I had in mind. I have subscribed and I feel a bit of binge watching coming on. Thank you Jo

[@peaceofpi-studio]

That's great! Yay for the binge watch 😀I have a little beginner series going if you're looking for a place to start kzbin.info/aero/PLQ5A2G3zAe-RvNvc_jW1PDiv1iVFhuvRg

[@clare9637]

I'll be working my way through it 😁@@peaceofpi-studio

I appreciate hearing your thought process in choosing the fabric placement as well as the colors of threads. these are adorable and the stitching of the colors make sense; the piecing of fabric with the colors also make sense. I think these examples are very eye pleasing! tfs!😊

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Thank you!😊🧵🪡

[@jacquelinestrand6283]

Another great idea. I love the idea of playing with the fabric elements❤️

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Yes! Thank you!

[@annrubino6252]

Thank you for these lovely tutorials. I am new to slow stitching and so far only made random pieces/scrolls. These broaches are a great idea for artistic expression.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

That’s great to hear!😊🧵🪡

[@bernicelycklama7619]

I love the elephant selvedge. Thank you. They are a sweet gift idea. I'm going down to look at my scrap pile just a little differently. I want to find some birds.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Great idea! 😊🧵🪡

[@lyndabaillargeon4955]

Thank you great video

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Thanks!😊🧵🪡

[@bobbiwest6625]

They look great. I found in my stash a mommigami (sp) square i had sewn to fabric. I never thought to add a safety pin to it. I was thinking of scrap book items. But great idea. Take care, be safe.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Sounds good!😊🧵🪡
