I just found your channel today and I'm hooked. Listening to you is like listening to an old friend. I love the fact that you don't have music in the background. I enjoy the ramblings, makes me feel normal, I talk to the fabric, myself and to anyone around while im sewing. I'm from the US, 63 years young and enjoy learning new things. Have a wonderful day.

I’m sitting, in France, slow stitching, and I found you!! What joy this Sunday morning!! I will definitely join you with these projects in January. I do exactly the same with old and used fabrics, the sense of memories when I’m using it is so calming, added to which the re-using fabric rather than the environmental cost of new cloth. Thank you for this, perfect for the winter.

Hiya 🌞, just found your channel last evening,and getting to watch now at last! I am just learning to use this device so will get my IT personelle(11&14 yrs) to educate me over the Christmas period, as l just do bits( all kinds of sewing etc)mainly for the pleasure of the doing!Materials etc are like confectionery for me,& those with an history are the best kind. Your delightful conversation mirrors my own way of talking-as l often digress/ go on a tangent as one's mind has many thoughts that want to have their say simultaneously! 😀 I shall look forward to joining your group in 2024 as l think it'll be fun& trust many others will be of a like mind.I am in Brisbane,Australia, but spent various times in parts of France as l grew up.Best wishes,and have a magical Christmastide, (& to all here)🎄.Julia- JIMK.Mrs.(Not Damien, hisMother)😊🇦🇺 🪃 ❤-18/12/2023.

Hello K3N. New subscriber here. I’m recuperating at home from a period of illness and I felt the need to attempt some crafting but my poorly hands wouldn’t allow me to return to crochet just yet. I’d found the concept of slow stitching on YT recently and so thought I’d give it a little go. I didn’t think that I had much fabric\scraps to work with so my Amazon cart was pretty full with felt, fat quarters, ribbons, buttons, lace etcetera just waiting for me to press “buy”. Something made me return to YT to investigate more the art of slow stitching and your beautiful channel popped up, thankfully! What a revelation. On second thoughts, I have soooooo much material that I can work with and much of it vintage or emotionally attached to me, that’s sitting in dark cupboards and not knowing what to do with it! Thank you for connecting me with the true meaning of slow stitching and I’ve started already (pair of cut-up old Levis, pyjamas, blanket and long forgotten cross stitch threads. My heart and my hands are smiling at the thought of rifling through all those dark cupboards and I’m feeling better already. Looking forward to exploring your other videos and following your channel into 2024. Thank you! Jan x 🫶🩵

Can I share a little story with you please??? I was sitting at my desk with 2 Barons cigar boxes full of Grandmas floss on the original cardboard spool templets, her needles and thimbles too!! Looking at all their beauty, it made me so sad to not know how or what I can do to use them. ( there's over 100 double spools ) I have Aunt Josephines (1863-1949 ) hand stitched quilt hanging on my living room wall and I admire it everyday. I am trying to do something to honor the ancestors with what I inherited , BUT I don't know how to slow stitch or how to do the beautiful embroidery stitches. I'm intimidated to say the least!! I pulled up my chair to my desk, clicked on U-Tube and there you were!!!!! Angel bells started ringing!!!!! My stomach flipped around with excitement when you talked about your new project for 2024. I WILL BE THERE!!! I want to thank-you for the beautiful work you do and for sharing it also the ease in which you explain things. I will be watching ALL you past posts.
