Turn Your Slow Stitched Squares Into Something Pretty Cool

#fabrics #handstitching #slowstitching
So If you are like me and love to slow stitch then you have made a lot of embroidered squares and you love them … now what do you do with them ?
I have found the easiest way to stitch your fabric embroidered squares together, to keep neatly together and I love that it is a concertina style something a bit different, instead of a book.
We will also be practising our embroidery stitches all throughout this series, I would love to learn new stitches and also could use the practice I just thought I'd bring you along and we have a bit of a giggle together while I do this.
Please enjoy ☺️

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Love your squares and little book.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@GezButterworth]

New to your channel, new to slow stitching. Your book looks wonderful. I would love to give this a go! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Best wishes, Geraldine

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you! welcome along 😊 Just in case you wonder where all the slow stitching videos have gone recently ! I have started a new channel dedicated to my love for slow stitching, it’s Hand Stitch with Carol and we do all sorts of relaxed stitching projects 💗

[@suehodkinson7587]

I love watching you. I’m going to try this.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Have fun! Thank you for watching 🩷

[@marysharp6366]

I am ready for more enjoyment watching you slow stitching. You really are a joy to watch

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Mary thank you very much I’m glad you enjoy my videos 😁

[@akrose2371]

Did you use wadding when you out it together?

[@RecraftedByCarol]

No i didn’t, I collaged on top of upholstery type fabric and then stitched them down on a length of cotton I used for the base. 😊 I’ll demonstrate in the next video for you ❤

[@SusanMJB45]

I love your style and your attitude. I am fairly new to embroidery, but have learned about 6 stitches so far (from the Sarah Homfray Embroidery channel - she has a wonderful stitch library.) I was searching for a channel that would teach me more about slow stitching in general and ..... in particular..... how to put my individual pieces together.... mainly in an accordian style. And I see by roaming around your channel very briefly this morning, that you have shown several methods of doing that. This is going to be fun. Thank you. I have just subscribed. Now I shall go back and watch a lot of your previous videos so that I can catch up 🙂

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hello Susan 😊 Thank you so much for saying hi and welcome to my little corner of KZbin ! I am a big fan of Sarah Homfray she’s a fabulous teacher and is very experienced. I started stitching beginning of last year when I did Roxy’s journal of stitchery, Rachel and her sister are great to watch too ! I’m very much on a learning curve and just videoing my experiments in stitching, I make mistakes and not perfect at it all 😂 I have a playlist with all my slow stitching projects if that helps 😁

[@SusanMJB45]

@@RecraftedByCarol Thanks Carol. This is exactly what I was looking for...... making individual slow stitch pieces and then putting them together as a concertina on a piece of fabric. I have seen slow stitch pieces that used various things as the base for the individual pieces: cotton fabric, cotton wadding/batting and felt. I think that I'll give all three a try and see which I like best. Thanks for the inspiration !!!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

@@SusanMJB45 you are very welcome I’m glad I can offer inspiration 😊

[@sheilahope7007]

I want to join in❤❤

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Sheila please just stitch along, I have some meditation stitching videos in my slow stitching playlist which you can listen to while you stitch ! At the moment we are just making our blocks and will be stitching them together in a few weeks 😊 ❤

[@SusanHilesArt]

I am loving this project Carol. I wish I could participate with you, but I’m not able to right now. I agree that a 4”x5” journal is the perfect size. I look forward to watching you work on it! 💕💕💕

[@RecraftedByCarol]

It’s great to know you’ll be watching 😊 just can’t join in everything ❤

[@CarolineontheHillside]

Hi Carol! This is great and I have been creating with a bit of slow stitching myself…I will have to make one when I’m back in my craft space at home. Love your little book🥰🌸

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Thank you, I hope you make one. I’m so pleased with how my book turned out ❤

[@ragdollyally]

New to your channel this morning and already I love it - you have a brilliant detailed teaching style and are very listenable to. And this book - absolutely gorgeous and they’d be a lovely thing to take on a journey with a small child, with lots of textures and surprises to capture their imagination - just beautiful, also it would be a lovely way to save little pieces of fabric that have a particular meaning for you. Beautiful.😊

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi and welcome Allie so happy to have you here. Thank you for your lovely comments 😊 I’m glad you got some inspiration from my video and yes how wonderful to make a book from memorable pieces of fabric. Do you do a lot of stitching ? Xx

[@akrose2371]

I love this idea. I am going to do it with you. I love slow stitching it is so relaxing. Thank you 🥰🥰

[@RecraftedByCarol]
