That's really nice. Your artistic interest are right in line with mine. I too, started sewing when I was a child, with my first black singer machine, and I used to sit on my gramma's lap while she made pajamas for all kids for Christmas. Anyway lovely work. 😊

I wish I could describe the feeling I get when I think about getting my supplies out and starting to do this. It's a mix of nostalgia and I'm not sure what! Most of my childhood crafting activities involved yarn and thread of some sort... crocheting, sewing, cross-stitching, friendship bracelets. This combines that love with my love of collage. I'm so excited by this! I need to get my space organized, so I can play. I love, love, love this! Thank you :)

I, also, have kept quite a few things from my past hand sewing ventures. I have a wonderful small, shallow metal tool box that I snagged at a thrift store. My plan is to turn that into my slow stitching box! I’ve also accumulated a bit of vintage sewing supplies that I’ll put in there. It’s funny - my mom asked me way back when I was collecting those things what I was going to do with them. Told her I wasn’t sure...I just liked it all. Now I know why!!! Your piece is absolutely stunning! I’m off now to get started on my box - thanks for the inspiration Gina!!!😃❤️🔆

Oh my gosh!! I just discovered you this morning! It’s Saturday & very cold here in Kansas & we’re still (again) in the middle of the “you know what” but now it has a new twist that got me. I’ve been a hermit for almost 2 years, only going out every 3-4 weeks to grocery shop. I had both Pfizer vaccinations but hadn’t gotten the booster. My son was evicted because he lost his job & moved in with me. He also had had the 2 vaccines & we thought we were safe. He got a new job, where they were not taking ANY protective measures, not even masks/social distancing/hand sanitizer & he almost immediately caught the new naughty one. Of course, ironically, I caught it in my own house. Two weeks later, I’m still dragging around, but have my smell & taste back. At any rate, I’m very new to slowstitching & am just now beginning work on my slow stitching journal. This series is being presented by Rachel (Roxy’s Creations) & her sister, Sarah, (Roxy’s Creations by Sarah) & it’s great fun! I’m having trouble learning the stitches, I need it presented very slowly, so I’ve been fishing around looking for help on KZread. Today I found you! I’m so thrilled, you’re exactly what I need! I can hardly wait to be able to add the goodies that you’re using! First however, I need to learn the stitches!! I don’t know anyone locally to even ask the silliest of questions: what is felted wool, where do you find it, is Appleton wool thread available in the US, (they are located in San Marino, Italy & Australia) or are there other types available? On Amazon I can’t really tell what things are made of, nor the quality of these items, I have bought a good selection of cotton DMC floss at our local Walmart ($.59/skein)!!!! But I would like to get some of the other kinds of thread. Kind of like you, I have held onto craft materials throughout the years, even if I thought I’d never do that thing again, so I’m lucky that way! Sorry this is so long-winded, can you tell I’m desperate for interaction?!! I enjoyed hearing your little bit of family history & your artistic journey, I think we may be similarly aged (I’m soon to be 65). Yikes, sorry if you’re still in your 40’s!! I have liked this video & have subscribed to your channel, I look forward to seeing & learning more from you! Hope you’re having a good start to this new year & stay healthy! Erica p.s. where do you live? I love your new little driftwood butterfly hanging & the calm slow description of how & why you used which stitches! Thank you for the description of your bead tray, I’m going to get that set up, too!

Just love slow stitching and I'm a mixed media artist. Thank you for sharing these different technique s. Your piece is adorable. This video is inspiring. Can't wait to try heads. Right now I'm making miniature French journals. Fabric is very old from Toulaus. They re about 2 1\2 by 4 and I'm going to put slow stitch pieces in this one. If I may mention, for me at le ast, I don't like the louder speedy mmusic in the background. I like watching the slow stitching as its peaceful, relax ing except for the music. Be safe. Be well.

Hi there new to you channel. I'm so glad I saw this. I've been very curious about learning how to slow stitch 🤔 you've convinced me🤗 its a must now after watching you create this beautiful piece. Just have two questions. What threads should I use? Reg. Thread or Embroidery thread. And Second what needed are you using it looks larger then what I have hehe and certainly more comfortable to use. 😊 I can't wait to try incorporating slow stitching into my journals 🤗❤

@ginabahrens

3 жыл бұрын

Ok so firstly I use any thread but mostly buttonhole thread, upholstery thread or embroidery thread...The first two can be found at your local fabric store in the sewing thread section.....they are just thicker thread and dont break as easy....they also leave a bit of texture as they show more because of their thickness. As for needles I prefer a longer sharp needle and normally use a sashiko needle like these here.... www.etsy.com/listing/227431258/sashiko-needles-japanese-sashiko-needle
