Sew4thesoul - my

A quick update of my #sew4thesoulhannemade project. I'm following along with Anne Brooke as she gives prompts and sets challenges using different sewing techniques.
As a professed non-sewer I'm really enjoying learning new stitches and sewing methods. I haven't been able to put this down since beginning it 10 days ago.

So gorgeous love the materials you've used throughout. Xx

[@heyseaville55]

Thank you so much Lita 🥰 I think we often underestimate or get bored with the items already in our stash so it's really nice to be able to use them in new projects.

[@karengiannini4400]

Really, really pretty! You're a sew-er now! I put the hyphen in because I didn't want to call you a sewer ... lol

Okay, I had no idea you did handwork until your last IG post. This is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you do with this. Just amazing....and I love listening to you. I miss my Mel, from Australia....a former au pair for my boys so long ago. Aussies always end their words on a positive upward tone !!!! Xoxo Barbie

[@heyseaville55]

What a lovely comment Barbie, thank you xx I hate listening to myself on video so I'm glad you do. For now this piece is wrapped around an old wooden spool and I think that's where it will stay. I've had an urge to do more stitching so I may even add to it.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

What would you do with a piece such as this when it's completed ? It's so beautiful I'd hate to cut it to use in a journal. I can't wait to hear what's you'll do with it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work 🥰🥰

REally gorgeous, so many cute details - you're responsible for getting me into all this and I'm very grateful to you for it!

[@heyseaville55]

How wonderful - I found the whole process really addictive. Thankfully I came across it during the first lockdown last year and had nowhere else to be. I'm so happy to have inspired you.

[@vaniawhitfield6486]

[@feekyle3457]

Gorgeous! ♥️ Your stitching is just lovely. The daisies off the hat are so cute.

[@heyseaville55]

So sweet of you to say 😘 Those daisies are my favourite! And to think I almost threw out the whole hat...

Lovely stitching! It sure was fun trying this slow stitching....per Rachel at Roxy Creations.

[@heyseaville55]

Jan Birr thanks Jan ☺️ I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I have.

[@telalong5254]

hello and thank you for your channel. fabulous....i did not get the last name of Rachel who you referred to in this video. In my heart I've always been a textile artist. So happy you are now in my circle of fun. warmest, t

Tela Long Rachel Roxburgh from Roxycreations on KZbin, she embroiders, paints and makes journals.

[@heyseaville55]

Thanks so much Lucy!

[@sherrycable1718]

Ohhh that is beautiful! I can do all of those stitches! Never thought to put them all together! How relaxing. So I see it is very long. What will you be doing with it?

[@heyseaville55]

Sherry Cable I would never had thought to put them together either had it not been for the prompts and challenges I followed. It’s amazing how helpful it can be to see other people’s take on things. Right now the piece is wrapped around an old wooden bobbin so I can pull it out and look at it and maybe add some more stitches. Thank you for watching 🙂

[@AgnesRubyStudio]

I love it! ❤❤❤ So pretty. How do you do your daisies? . I can’t find anything like that anywhere.

[@heyseaville55]

Thank you so much Agnes 😊 You may be referring to pre-made daisies that came from ribbon on a straw hat I had. I cut them up and then added a French knot to the centre of each one to hold them in place. I think you could make something similar using simple straight stitches in a daisy shape. Hope that helps ❤️🪡

[@vanessaboman8143]

Wow! That's so lovely, what will you do with it in the end?

[@heyseaville55]

Thanks so much Vanessa 🥰 I don’t have a plan to use it as it was my first attempt at slow stitching. It was more of a practice piece than anything else.

[@xrysalykouresi8255]

Πολύ όμορφο

[@dianekhamilton]

So pretty, I love this! What is the fabric on back? I assume you started with a long strip of it and just add other fabric pieces on top as you go? Do you machine stitch the base fabrics or is it all hand stitched?

[@heyseaville55]

Thank you so much Diane! 🙂 The base fabric is felt that I cut into strips about 25 cm long. Then hand stitched the larger pieces of fabric to the base and added the other pieces as I went. I only worked on a small section at a time and joined more strips of felt when had run out of space to work in. No machine stitching 🧵

[@dianekhamilton]

Thank you!

[@farahkhan9023]

Where can we use this beautiful piece.

[@donetahill6102]

What are sucker puffs or did i not hear you right? Those fabric flower things

[@susanhamilton1822]

Is it hard to embroider through the cotton wadding (batting)? I see most people stitch the patched cotton pieces first and then quilt onto the batting but I want to do it your way.

[@heyseaville55]

No not at all. I found it quite easy to stitch through fabric straight onto the batting. In some cases it gives lighter fabric more body to work with (if that makes sense). Give it a go and see if you like it.
