Description

Join us as we delve into the serene realm of slow stitching, where simplicity meets creativity. Through this mindful craft, you’ll discover the power of hand-eye coordination, while nurturing a sense of calm and confidence with each deliberate stitch. In today’s fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquility is a rare treasure. Enter the gentle art of slow stitching where the rhythmic movement of needle and thread becomes a balm for the soul. During the course, you’ll explore the fundamental principles of slow stitching, learning to combine fabric and stitches to create miniature artworks. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a curious beginner, this is your chance to embrace the meditative rhythm of hand stitching and unleash your artistic expression. Guided by Hannah, you’ll uncover your unique stitching style learning how to layer scraps of reclaimed fabric, vintage buttons and trims to craft one-of-a-kind treasures. By the end of the course, you’ll not only have created a beautiful piece of stitched artwork but also a functional needle book to house your newfound passion. So, take a pause from the hustle and bustle of life, and join us on a journey of self-discovery through the art of slow stitching.
