- Hello lovelies
This is a tutorial on my way to do slow stitching. It is a very small piece and will give you an idea of what it’s like. This is the second part of a two part video - and this is where we look at finishing up and embellishing.

Can you make more slow stitching video's?😛😻 I loved it so much. The flowerpot and leaves are also such a nice idea. I have to finish my slow stitch'ish needlebook first and then I want to make something like yours, colorful. 💜
I certainly can :) - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😍
Yes, please!
This was absolutely lovely! Thank you for some wonderful ideas for using up some scraps.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it :)
Hi, With love may I suggest that when separating threads you take one at a time. Hold the threat gently in your palm and surround it, select one piece and pull up. It comes away easily then and the remaining five threads don't get tangled up. With all best intentions, Ax
Thank you Allison - that is absolutely the easiest way (and the right way) to separate the strands. 🥰❤️
I'm a first timer for this craft and Ur tutorial is so easy to follow thanks so much I'm gonna get started :)
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. There will definitely be more to come :)
Glad I found your channel. Nice job. Beautiful work. Thanks!
So pleased you enjoyed it :) ❤️
Thread Heaven, beeswax or glycerine - a tiny bit run on the thread and it will never tangle again!
There are exuent piece of clothing from hundreds yrs ago, the only reason they survived well was the beeswaxed linen thread! It not only smoothes, helps prevent tangles but also adds strength and longevity to your pieces!
Cheers
Yes agreed!! I have thread heaven and also beeswax in my big sewing kit :)
Thank you for your pt & pt 2 video.
I need to keep my hands busy and hand sewing smallish projects fits perfectly.
Appreciate getting a peek of the back. Being able to add those 'last one' button (s) is a nice touch. I still have my mom's button jar from the 1940s to 1980s.
Crumb quiltig on adding machine tape has been great fun but getting to a final project can take years. Ended up making bucket hats with the created fabric.
Thank you again. 🍄🍄
Glad you are enjoying the channel 🥰
Hi, I am enjoying part 2 of your slow stitching, your way of finishing off the sides, is an easier way than doing mitred corners, although you could do it that way, if you want to, but I am not the expert in doing that, that would be good, if you could show your viewers, how to finish off doing mitred corners. Perhaps you could put the squares together, to form a little book to flip through, again I wouldn't be too sure how to do that. Thanks again for your lovely video. 😊 ❤
Hi - I quite like the unmitred corners but yes they could be finished in that way if you chose to. A book is definitely on the cards for a future video :) 🥰
Love your mini hot pads or etc💜🇺🇸
Thank you Lisa 🥰
This is so fun and I love the idea of putting it on a canvas!!! Thank you!! I'm excited to get started on my first piece!!!
Ooh I’m excited for you! Happy stitching! ❤️
I love this idea. You presented it so well! Now, I hope you’ve got lots more videos. I can’t wait to see what else you have shared.
Welcome to the channel - I’ve got quite a few that I hope will keep you going :) 🥰
Tori I found your channel by chance and love what you do especially the slow stitch. I am going to get started on my small works of mindful stitching. I have age macular degeneration and have lost central vision in my left eye but thankfully still have the use of one eye. Your slow stitching in easy enough to do. Please do more videos! ♥️🥀♥️
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I certainly shall be doing more videos and enjoy sharing the process :) 🥰
Very charming finished pieces! Good video and audio instructions too, thank you.
Thank you very much! You are so welcome 🤗 x
Wahoo! I've just found your channel, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your slow stitching projects. ❤❤❤😊
Thank you so much! So pleased you enjoyed it :) 🥰
Absolutely love you’re finished square with the little pot plant and lovely details ❤
Thank you so much Janet :) x
Maravilloso, felicitaciones por su trabajo. Saludos de España Barcelona.❤
Thank you so much ❤️
If you pull from the center of a cut strand of 6 threads, it is easier to separate. I’m so happy to have discovered your channel. Embroidery is my favorite. Isn’t it neat that the tiniest piece of felt can be handy.
Thank you for the great tip! I shall remember that one! 😊. Great to have you with me and I completely agree - every little scrap has worth 🥰❤️
I enjoyed this project so much!! It is my new obsession. I've been slow stitching for a while, but the idea of miniature art pieces is brilliant!! Thank you for your inspiration. ❤
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. It’s such a lovely hobby to do and I love the lack of rules! Hehe! The small pieces make great gifts too :) ❤️
This is wonderful!
Thank you :) ☺️
Just found you today and am in love with this technique and your quiet way of narrating what you do. Looking forward to viewing the rest of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤩
Thank you Corinne - I’m so pleased you are enjoying 🥰
I am a new comber to slow stitching and getting addicted! I love how you teach, and would love to see more. I am going to look at more of your videos also. Thanks
Thank you Jan - it’s a great way to relax! Happy stitching! 🥰
Second time watching video, working up my courage after watching your slow stitching videos...lol i need a pencil holder like your book cover its taking me time to rhink how to do inside attach it to outside cover..lol id like the idea of sticking the small pieces to canvas wihat a great idea...mikelle art mom✍🎨👩🎨🇨🇦🇺🇸💛
Are you thinking thick elastic or something else? :) x
Thank you for teaching us all how to slow stitch. I SO appreciate you going slower so I can follow along. Beautiful work!
Thank you Tiffany and I’m so pleased you enjoyed it ❤️
Love this. Very helpful.
So pleased you found it useful :) 🥰
Yes. More slow stitch--please and thanks! Loved this.
More on the way 🥰❤️Thank you and glad you are enjoying :)
So beautiful Tori! I've been inspired to use your Kooky method and started making a needle case, thank you for all the ideas and tips :)
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it Annie :). I have so many ideas of things I want to make that I’m having to stop myself from “fast stitching” 🤣🤣xxx
Beautiful x thank you will give it a go xx
@@mariasimpson8272 you are welcome! Happy stitching! ☺️
Thank you so much for both Part 1 and 2. I really feel I can give this a go now. You were very easy to follow 😊
You are so very welcome! I’m so pleased it was helpful to you and thank you for your kind comments ❤️
So glad to have found you today, what a lovely breath of fresh air 😊 Thanks for reminding me how much I love sewing 🥰 Subscribed!
Thank you so much Suze - welcome to the kooky corner :) ❤️
To separate the strands on embroidery floss I usually pull out the strands one at a time then put them together, they pull out much easier and don’t get tangled up. Just a thought for you. Great videos.
Yes agreed - that is one of the best ways to separate them :) 🥰❤️
Wonderful videos with lovely slow stitching and clear articulate directions. Really like the range of choices you give the viewer when doing these pieces! First time I found you and became a subscriber immediately! Thank you so much for your terrific videos!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Deb! I’m really pleased that you are enjoying the videos. There will be many more forthcoming mixed in with some of my other videos on art and needle felting. At some point I am going to do a video combining both needle felting and slow stitching - I like to mix it up sometimes 🥰❤️
Lovely
Thank you Linda 🤗
these are soo much fun!
Thank you 🥰
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this. I will certainly be trying this when I get home. Such a beautiful result. 🌷
Thank you so much. It is an addictive hobby :) ❤️
Thank you for showing us your craft. Please make more. This was so enjoyable to watch
You are very welcome and I will be making much more. Thank you for your lovely comments. ❤️
Very interesting.
Thank you :)
Love your tutorials. trying to learn all I can about slow stitching. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!
Thank you and you are very welcome! Much more on the way :) ❤️
Thank you
💙🤗💙
You are welcome! :) 🥰
I would so appreciate more slow stitching videos. These little pieces are delightful.
I have quite a few on my channel :)
Nice and clear,thanks.x x
You are very welcome 🥰
Fabulous 🎉
Thank you Karen 🥰❤️
I loved this project! I have looked at the slow stitching kits online and I knew I was dying to try this but I just couldn’t make myself pay those prices. Now I’m so glad I didn’t buy one because I have everything I need to do this already and I can’t wait to get started!❤
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Yes - the joy of slow stitching is that in the main you will already have everything that you need to get going. It’s worth looking in thrift shops or charity store for clothes made of interesting fabrics that you can cut up and use too. Enjoy your new hobby - it’s addictive 😀❤️
Inspirational! ❤
Thank you :) 🥰
Hi I have just found you just my cup of tea ❤ Been considering a project to take on a cruise and I have found it. Thank you so much 😊
Hi there and thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :). On 17th March there will be a video on a Travel Stitch Kit featuring a slow stitching piece which you might find interesting!
I need to make a name tag for my quilt guild, thi will be perfect.
Excellent :) 🥰
I just can't believe how much I want to do this! I HATED hand sewing when I was young, but I'm itching to do this. Thank you so much, it's adorable.
It’s a very relaxing way to spend some time :) I’m really pleased you like it 🥰
Love it thanks
You are very welcome Charlotte ❤️
Thank you 🦋
You are very welcome 🥰
You’re the only one who uses vibrant colors in your work… loving it. Others use boring colors but you make all your work look like artwork.. please make more videos. Perhaps slow stitching on a larger scale on how to combine all pieces together for a picture or pillow.. or perhaps for a vest. I’m going to make a large one to hang on the wall ❤❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am obsessed with colour and so it’s always going to be a big aspect of what I do 🥰. Keep your eyes open for a video at the end of the e month where I will reveal the piece I have been working on for the “Inspired By Art Collab”. I will be showing the piece but then also breaking down how I made it as a tutorial for anyone interested. It is definitely a large wall piece :) 🥰❤️
Such a beautiful video, thank you. A new subscriber after watching part 1 and 2 x
Thank you so much and you are very welcome to my kooky corner 🥰👋
🎉😊Congratulations!
Thank you 🥰
You did a good job with these Part 1&2 videos👍🏼 Thank you! I’d like to make a slow stitch “booklet” with pages to send back and forth between my bff and I. Could you make a video on how you’d go about doing this?
Thank you so much! Yes I can certainly have a go at a booklet tutorial - it is on my list of videos to make as I want to do the same thing :) ❤️
Please do more and ideas on what to do with finished pieces, had migraine this morning and watching both of these helped to relax me and eased my head so thank you.
Thank you Sharon - I know what it’s like to suffer with migraine so sending you a virtual hug. There are a few more things on my channel - journal wraps, needle books, kilt pin brooches and bracelet cuffs etc. Also smaller ones on a blank greeting card make fabulous cards and gifts :) There will definitely be more forthcoming! Hope you feel better soon! 🥰
I'm getting ready to take a class along these lines . Your work is fab! Do you do larger pieces? Looking forward to seeing more of your creations.
Hi there - yes I do! In my videos here I show a journal cover but I also do larger pieces for framing too :) 🥰❤️
I've really felt confident about stitching since joining your Chanel
already finished one piece and creative juices are flowing
Thankyou!
Oh that’s so nice to hear! I love that you are enjoying it 🥰❤️
Love too see more thank you
Thank you Jan - there will be a lot more coming up :)
I learned to be more spontaneous in my placement of fabric. Thank you!
You are very welcome 🥰😊
Enjoyed video immensely was a very interesting and informative video...like seeing how your process was in the layering edges..mikelle art mom🎨👩🎨✍
Glad you enjoyed it Mikelle :)
Love your work. Here's an idea.... Make fabric rope and sew all around your needle book. I am playing with two different colours looks very nice.
That’s a cool idea Sherryl - thank you 😍
Thank you so much for these 2 videos. I just about started doing a piece and could see where my mistake was. Your tutorial is so clear and precise and easy to follow. Love your pieces and specially the book wrap,that is a perfect idea. Stay blessed and take care.❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed them :) ❤️
Love your videos. Love the way you explain everything and then show plenty of examples of how to do it! Very inspiring stuff!
Thank you! So pleased that you are enjoying xxx
I love your little art pieces. I have a jar that I keep all my left over threads and make ort balls for embellishments, or as texture in making faux paper.
Thank you - I also make ort beads and sometimes add the Orts into fabric mache bowls to add strength :)
I am new to your channel and want to thank you. It was so easy to follow and it has been probably 40 years since I have done and kind of embroidery and have been very interested in doing the slow stitching. It is appreciated TFS 😊
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel :). I’m so pleased that you have enjoyed watching 🥰
Thanks for this very informative tutorial. I loved learning about your technique. Slow stitching is a favourite of mine and I love flowers so definitely going try make a few of these blocks. Beautiful. And so good for managing stress and anxiety. Blessings 🙏🏻💗🌸
Thank you Robyn - I’m so happy you enjoyed the tutorial ❤️🥰
DEAR LADY! YOUR HANDS ARE SO PRETTY AND CLEAN!
Thank you ☺️
Really enjoyed watching you. Never heard of Slow stitching before. Certainly going to give it a try. Thanks again.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome. :) 🥰
That was lovely. I also make 4x4 fabric collages but then never seem to finish off the edges or do anything with them. Ideas for what to do with them would be appreciated
Hi Barbi - framing them is a great idea either in a shadow box or on a wood panel :)
You have inspired me so much that I actually made my first slow stich piece I just had to share with you
Thank you for sharing your videos
Brilliant! I’m so pleased that you had some fun with it 🥰❤️
My perfectionist attitude toward thread and placement in quilted projects was just done away with! What a soothing memerizing mindset Im left in, right here, by soaking in your creative presentation of craft! Absolutely calm, cool, and I am not quick to get on with my old ways, no no no, I have to try to incorporate this motivation youve left me with into new Ideas!!!😊❤ Thank You for the crazie kooky crafting! lis
Thank you so much for you lovely comments :). I hope you enjoy your creations and have fun! 🥰❤️
So beautiful and inspiring. I am playing myself with new ideas with your inspiration.
Thank you :) x 🥰❤️

Really inspiring - love this work. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful work, you've inspired me to get sewing, thank you.
Thank you and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video 🥰
I use an inexpensive hair straightener. It works on ribbon and fabric. I happened to have one, im not bothering with the hair so it was the perfect repurpose for me 😊
That’s a fabulous tip :) thank you! 🥰
I enjoyed your videos very much. I slow stitched and loved it. However, I tend to sew too long and get sore fingers and hand. Thank you, and I look forward to watching your other videos
Thank you so much Tammie! Yes I know what you mean! 🥰❤️
How beautiful and unique! Lovely video!
Thank you! Im so glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Really enjoyed your tutorials, looking forward to see more. Yours are so cute 🥰
Thank you so much! So pleased you are enjoying them :) 🥰
I busted out laughing when you said you would not want to finger press a shirt! I do not love to iron. I am capable but just don't necessarily enjoy. Love the backing fabric!
Haha yes - finger-pressing a shirt would be a labour of love hehe :)
Again what a JOY
Thank you Ann! 🥰❤️
Very enjoyable and inspirational video.. thank you ❤
You are so welcome! 🥰
Thank you.
You're welcome! 🥰
Awesome.I have learned so much.
So pleased that you enjoyed it 🥰
Gorgeous!!!💙💚💛
So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Beautiful work!!!
Thank you Joani 🥰
These would make wonderful cards. Thanks for your nice tutorial. 🙂
Thank you and I’m pleased you enjoyed it. 🥰❤️
Loved this thankyou, could i ask how you would sew a sequin on when they have only one hole 🤔. Im definitely one for a bit of bling 😆
With one hole I can do this two ways - first one would be to use a small bead on top and stitch through the sequin, pop on a bead and then go down through the sequin again. The second way would be to hold the sequin in place with two stitches either side - through the centre to one side and back through the centre to the other side :). Hope that helps! 🥰
❤️ TFS!
Thank you 😊
Спасибо☺!!!! С любовью из Москвы, Россия!
You are very welcome :)
I'm wondering if it would be all right to have some light watercolour abstract background on the canva... I really appreciate your comment on that matter: the master opinion counts, indeed!
I think that would be absolutely fine :). I also use inktense which works well 🥰
@@KoolKookyKreatures Thanks for your quick and gentle answer. I've just come across your channel, and I'm enjoying it dearly
I’m so pleased you are enjoying it Sue :) 🥰
Hello! Enjoyed this video. How did you secure the plant pot?
Hi there and thank you. Small oversew
stitched will do it :) 🥰❤️
Hi, I love this slow stitching method, al though my hands and fingers hurt I still do it very slowly. I saw an episode in which you added a cat and can’t find it, could you tell the name of the episode? Thank you !
Hi there - I think this may be the one you are looking for Kooky Stitchalong - LET’S STITCH A SQUARE - slow stitched square with appliqué

@@KoolKookyKreatures yes, thank you, that’s it!!
I love your projects. Is there a way that you could put these in a slow stitching binder?
Hi Cathy thank you so much - did you mean a separate playlist? I certainly can :)
No, take the slow stitching pieces and make a little book out of them. A cover, binding method, back cover.
@@atwoodwoman ahh ok - yes I get what you mean now :). I am going to be putting together journal tutorial soon for this :)
Can’t wait. Thanks so much for your reply. I love the little pieces.
