Slow stitch a fabric snippet roll with me // fabric scraps project for relaxation and mindfulness

[@janemcgregor3667]

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening stitching along with you Mira. I will do another evening or 2 before I post my snippet roll. That was really fun and I learned some helpful things by watching you stitch... so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. 💜🪡🧵💜

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Ooh, thank YOU for stitching along! The thought of that makes me happy! 😍😍 I’m spending this weekend putting all the rag quilt blocks together and, quite frankly, I could do with a little hand stitching to switch off from all that right now .. 🤯🤣

[@susandeveaux4117]

I love making these too, love yours too.

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Thank you 🙏! Stitching these is so wonderfully relaxing, isn’t it..

I don’t know why, but I never tried a mediation scroll. I confess that I need my things to have a purpose, because when they do, I am admiring them constantly, in a bag, in a pouch, a book cover, etc. I know the scrolls may have numerous ways of using them, but I still haven’t found mine, I guess. However, I really enjoyed having your company while I stitch, since, as you know, I don’t have that in “real” life. And your roll is beautiful and full of lovely colours 💙💜❤️💛🩵💚🤎🧡♥️🩷🤍

Sehr entspannend dir beim sticken zuzuschauen, mit der schönen Background Musik. Und auch erstaunlich, was man mit den gestickten Bändern alles machen kann. Ideen muss man halt haben‼️👍🏻

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Das freut mich, dass du es auch als entspannend empfunden hast! Ich dachte mal wieder ein bisschen Musik kann nicht schaden.. 😍🎶 Ich gucke gerade aus dem Büro Fenster raus in den Regen und wäre jetzt gerne zu Hause bei einer Tasse Tee und meiner Stickerei.. 🙋‍♀️🥰

[@helgaschildbach9128]

Gabriele spricht mir aus dem Herzen. Zusammen mit der schönen Musik Entspannung pur, liebe Mira 🤗🍀

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Oh Helga, das freut mich wirklich sehr! Ich hatte gehofft, dass der Entspannungswert auch beim Zuschauen Dasein würde! Ich musste heute an dich denken als ich auf dem Weg ins Büro an einem wunderschönen englischen Rosengarten vorbei gegangen bin.. 🌹💐🌸 Ganz liebe Grüße ! 🙋‍♀️😘🤗

[@helgaschildbach9128]

Ooh, ein englischer Rosengarten... ❤

[@kimberlyeverett8979]

Look forward to trying this sometime! I hand quilt my quilts. It is so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art!

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

You are most welcome! Thank YOU for watching, I very much appreciate it! Happy hand quilting! 🪡🧵😍

[@maryjeanchapple6582]

So mesmerizing! I’ve enjoyed watching this at various times throughout the day. My daughter has gifted me some slow stitching projects and I’m wishing for more.

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

I’m SO happy to hear that, you have no idea! It’s wonderful that you enjoy hand stitching and I hope you might be able to have some sewing fun together with your daughter.. She obviously has a knack for picking out just the right gifts for you! Happy stitching & thanks very much for watching! ☺️🙋‍♀️

[@rebecca-familyrich7764]

Awesome. Was quite comforting to watch you. I must get my fabric out

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

So pleased to hear it! I hope you’ve enjoyed some stitching in the meantime! ☺️🙋‍♀️

Hola, me encantan tus proyectos, tengo 66 años. Soy de Chile. A los 7 años aprendí a coser. Amo la telas. He confeccionado muchísimas cosas. Pero cada proyecto se vuelve nuevo, energizante. Felicitaciones por tu espíritu. Saludos.

[@jackied2518]

I love this❤

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙋‍♀️😍

[@patticlark9321]

🙋🏼‍♀️Hi, Mira, I’ve really gotten behind on watching your videos. I’ve been doing a thorough cleaning of my apartment in anticipation of a family visit. They’ve come and gone and now I have a cold/flu and I’ve been searching for something very easy and relaxing to make while I recuperate and I think this is exactly what will work. I really enjoy your videos so much ❣️🥰

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

❤️❤️❤️🙋‍♀️

[@paulacollins2525]

I would love to make a bracelet using this idea!!

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Funny you should say that... ☺️ I actually have a tutorial in the making about stitched fabric bangles. There's a couple of taster videos in the 'Shorts' section already.. Stay tuned 🙌

[@so-k6v]

Awe!!!! I love making these too .love this definitely well done this very relaxing 👍👍👏👏👏😍

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Thank you so much 🤗 It’s definitely a lot of fun and very relaxing, indeed! Happy stitching 🙋‍♀️😍🪡🧵

[@christong9868]

Awe, I love this, definitely will do this. Very relaxing. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

You're very welcome! So pleased to hear that you've enjoyed the video and that it has inspired you to stitch a snippet roll, too! I hope this project will be as relaxing and enjoyable for you as it was / still is for me! 🙋‍♀️

[@ElkeMoricke]

Ich liebe deine Arbeiten. Zur Entspannung stricke ich mit dir…. ist bestimmt auch recht 😊.

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Na klar! Stricken ist immer gut! Woran 'arbeitest' du denn gerade? Ich muss auch die Stricknadeln mal wieder rausholen. Meine Nichte ist schon aus vielen Mützen, die ich ihr gestrickt habe rausgewachsen und der nächste Winter kommt bestimmt.. 🥶 (auch wenn man es sich zur Zeit bei diesen Temperaturen nicht vorstellen kann..) Liebe Grüsse! 🙋‍♀️🧶

[@ElkeMoricke]

Bei diesen Temperaturen am liebsten Socken aus selbst gesponnener Wolle. Auch sehr entspannend. Neben Eigenbedarf, Geschenke und Freunde brauche ich 24 Paar für einen Adventskalender der Landfrauen und 10 Paar für eine Tombola. Derzeit stricke ich an Nr. 24. Danach lasse ich mich wieder von dir inspirieren 😍

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

WOW!!!! Du bist ja eine richtige Strickmaschine 🤭😍👍 - bin total beeindruckt von deiner Produktivität, Hut ab! Und dass du auch Wolle selber spinnst ist echt klasse! Sowas hab ich noch nie ausprobiert.. Das braucht bestimmt Einiges an Übung, um konsistente Durchmesser zu erreichen. Und euer Adventskalender - Wahnsinn! 😱❤️ Dann noch viel Freude beim Stricken und ein schönes und hoffentlich ein bisschen kühleres Wochenende! 🙋‍♀️

[@giovannastrollo1520]

Questi lavori sono bellissimi, voglio imparare anch'io, sono belli i rocchetti di legno dove si possono comprare ciao tanti saluti dall'Italia ❤

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

Ciao! Ho comprato le bobine di legno su Amazon in una confezione da 10x, credo. Sono così felice di sapere che questo piccolo video ti ha ispirato! Spero che ci proverai.. Cordiali saluti dalla soleggiata Inghilterra 😍🙋‍♀️

[@aparecidodosanjosrodrigues650]

Amei❤. O que posso fazer com ele ?

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

I have decorated a Journal cover, made a glass jar cover (there is a tutorial on this) and used it for embroidery projects.. But the main purpose is relaxation and enjoying the process.. 🪡🧵😍🙋‍♀️

[@larklanestitchery]

What size is this spool you have put it on?

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

I think the middle part is about an inch, or just short of. I got a bunch of them on Amazon..

[@janhulse9518]

you ALL say not to stress but everything I see you all doing is NOT the work of nervous beginners,who have no idea of design.all I see are experienced workers results.and I truly believe it is self promotion.

[@bluebellhillcrafts]

I’m not sure who else you are referring to - I can only speak for myself and I always hope that my videos are inclusive and speak to anyone from absolute beginners to more experienced sewers. This snippet roll does require no design skills, it’s just about the process of adding any kind of fabric scraps onto a piece of cloth and adding simple stitches to them. Enjoying the process of stitching is very relaxing and rewarding for many people. As there is no set outcome or final design to be achieved, there really is no need for the stitcher to feel pressure to make their project look a certain way or to compare it to those of others. It’s really not about that. And if you’re solely stitching for yourself, I’m not sure where the nervousness comes in? You don’t have to share your make with anyone and no one is going to judge it. I’m genuinely interested to understand where you’re coming from. I also think there is no right or wrong beauty aesthetic here, so I wouldn’t judge the stitched scroll by a more experienced sewer to be more pleasing than that done by a beginner. So, with respect, I disagree with the underlying assumption in your comment that beginners can’t produce equally meaningful pieces and that they are somehow ‘less’. The only person who has to like and enjoy what you do is yourself 😊.. I hope that gives you a bit of context of where I’m coming from and might make you look at this video in a different light. I do hope so! 🙋‍♀️

[@janhulse9518]

@@bluebellhillcrafts thank you for responding to me. I really appreciate it. I am 70 and only in the last few years have I tried sewing . always hated anything to do with it. now I really want to hand sew.do not respond to frayed sewing and feel pressured to be like all the people I watch. long instilled pressure of perfection and achieving it from the very beginning are what I mentally struggle with. just yesterday I cried again,to my son that I have wasted money on achieving nothing and feel nothing but guilt.I so want to feel useful. I do enjoy watching you just carefree adding bits of fabric and sewing. left a question for you on another video earlier today. I did not mean to offend.so very frustrated and stressed. and I guess it comes out in the wrong format.thank you for taking the time to talk with me.

I was actually thinking of you when I made this video 😍😍😍 and remembered our exchanges about having / not having people in our lives to share things with. My heart goes out to you! For all the evil it can bring at times, I'm so grateful for the meaningful connections the internet can bring, too! ❤️ I love sharing my passion for stitching and textiles with you and you've been part of my creative journey pretty much since I started on Instagram and I have been so, so inspired by your beautiful work over the years. THANK YOU 🥰😍❤️🧵🪡😘
