For this project, I’m using the rectangular stitched fabric collage from the video 5 Essential Techniques for Slow Stitching

Need ideas about what to make with your slow stitching? Let me help! Make a customizable Sewing Keep. First we’ll make a patchwork border and lining and then comes the customizable pockets (one with a closure) and needle and pin storage. Slow Stitching can be complicated but it doesn’t have to be! Join me and stitch along!
What is a sewing keep? Larger than a needle book, it’s complete storage for a slow stitching project- perfect to take on the go!
Thread & Needle Notes:
-In this project I’m using TWO strands of the 6 stranded Embroidery Floss throughout.
-I’m using Embroidery Needles to create most stitches.
-To create French Knots I use a Milliners Needle.

Stitching this way is so relaxing because you don’t have to think about following a complex pattern or worry about your stitches being perfect. It’s all about free flowing relaxing creativity. Stitch Along with Me! #slowstitching
