- Welcome to my 2022 embroidery project! In this video I show you how I started my embroidered book, look out for the second part (now up!) where I show you the last few pages and how I finished it!
See my channel community page for some progress photos and close-ups
4/1/2024. Just found this and love it. I started something like it last year, but haven't got on with it. You have inspired me to keep on with it. Thanks for that. My name is Judy, I'm from Australia, and I'm 80 yrs.
Don't give up on it Judy!
Hello Judy. I am 77 years from New Orleans, Louisiana. Sewing in any form has been a tonic.
I really enjoy this format, especially if it means we get to see more of your lovely work and creative inspiration! I have 50 years worth of bits and pieces hanging around that I will be looking at with a fresh eye. What a charming way to give the little pieces we’ve accumulated over the years a chance to shine!
This is a great way to use them Laura and still have them to look at!
Would definitely like to see some more videos on your projects. They provide much food for thought. Thanks for sharing your creative process.
How fun would it be to sit down in an afternoon and put together 12 kits of little paraphernalia for yourself and open them up monthly to do this project. Fun group project too. Either get together to slow stitch or trade kits.
I wish I'd thought of that last January Elizabeth! It would have been like having a birthday every month!!
Great idea, think I will do that.
This was incredibly inspirational. I felt that Ah ha moment from the January page which was just beautiful and the feeling grew. Thank you for sharing this.
Oh, i love the bug!! Id love to have it made up in a hand tote/bag.
You've combined so many of my loves here. Just discovering tatting. Love everything textile. Beginning to "Junk" treasure journal. Jelli printing. I'm interested in combining the texture of painted fabric and different embroidery and lace styles. Another wonderful video, Sarah!
Your stitching designs are so elegant and fun. Please continue to post in this format!
Il tuo lavoro è incantevole....con te mi sono avvicinata al ricamo inglese....bellissimo❤
This is just beautiful, Sarah. I think that I need to do this. It looks like great fun!!!
March is nice with the drink in beads
This gives me a wonderful idea to make a book of some of my Mom's embroidery from a quilt that's over 50 years.
Couldn't save the quilt but now I can save her pieces and add a little for my sons and grandsons and maybe even my new great-grand son. Like Judy I'm 75 years and found your channels.
Fabulous idea Vicki!
Your hands are Beautiful !❤
Your work is Beautiful !❤
Sarah, I love your videos - so relaxing. Regarding your stitch book: You could bind the top edge of each page with a fabric, punch two holes in the top binding, stitch-bind the holes and lace a ribbon through them. Then they could be hung from the ribbon on a wall post, flipping every month like a calendar. What a shame to keep them enclosed.
Thanks for your idea, there's alot to think about! I quite like them being enclosed, that way you get to 'discover' them all over again everytime you open the book...
Your stitch book is incredible! My creative juices are flowing with desire to do one with my collection of bits and pieces 💕 Love your new channel - just found it and am thoroughly enjoying the videos. You are sooooo creative!! Thank you 🥰
Thank you! X
I couldn’t figure out how to make a slow stitch book without the back exposed and you explained it so clearly to me. Thank you.
I’m watching this in December 2023, so you will have completed the book. I have to search it out to see what you decided to do with the cover. But, as you were going through the pages and talking about your creative process, I started to think what I might do if I made a book like this. I have some tatting pieces that I tried using my grandmother’s shuttle, and I thought they would be interesting to add. And then you got to November and wow! You had some tatting that month, I was so excited! Who knows? Maybe I will have a play with a book like this. Thank you for the inspiration.
Book is finished, check out my channel to see the whole thing!
Fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Have you thought of putting the pages together using Coptic stitch. It is something they do in bookbinding and there are tutorials on UA-cam. It does not squash the pages down and gives the book a better finish. Love this different channel and seeing what you make. Thanks
Love your use of beads, sarah
I just love this style of video. Every page was so inspiring. You have sparked so many ideas for future projects. Thank you so much Sarah 💚
Soooo many ideas, not enough time. 😂 Thank you for another inspiring video. In German high school ( many moons ago) we learned all different forms of needlework so I love doing it all. This is an excellent way to incorporate everything. ❤
Beautiful stitched book! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work in this lovely video.
Instead of a book, how about putting them in a frame so it can all be seen. They are all lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I quite like that they are hidden away for a bit and when you open the book it's a nice surprise all over again!
Sarah, you have inspired me to make an embroidery book. You're so creative. I love the gold work you add to the projects. It gives it a nice sparkle. I aspire to become a good embroiderer one day, not as good as you but good enough to teach my children.
That's great! Start collecting some little bits and pieces, you will soon get lots of inspiration from them! Have a play and enjoy the process, it's not about being a work of art...
Perfectly Wonderful and Inspiring
Thanks for sharing your talent! Great idea! Your work is lovely.🤗♥️
Make a necklace and earrings from the peacock. You still need to finish your other beetle.
More like this, please :)
Love your little book, Sarah, it has inspired me to revisit one I began at the beginning of the year. I won't label the pages per month though, to keep it flexible. I've been thinking about bonding too, really like the concertina idea
Sarah your work os very inspiring
I really enjoyed your video . I will put some thought and gather my bits and pieces. Loved mixed media...
Thanks for sharing this, I think it is a fabulous way of capturing lots of little treasures, those bits you buy because you love them so much but then realise you can not bare to use them on a project or commission to see them go. This way you get to display and enjoy them forever in your possession all together. What a delight!
Exquisite wor love each month.TFS
Fun project...I may do this for 2023!! Love ALL your videos. Thank you for sharing so generously.
Love this format Sarah! I love watching what you make while I’m making my own projects. Whether it’s embroidery or other crafts. I prefer the videos where you’re talking to us rather than the ones with music, but appreciate they’re probably more time consuming
Looking forward to your next video ❤
They're all gorgeous and wonderful to look at, but July and August are my favorite. I love this video format. Such a cool project!
I love it amazing thank you for showing us 💖💖💖
Me encantó su video, que creativa forma de hacer un mostrario de puntos y más.😍😍😍😍😍
I am in awe of your talent and creativity and I love your channel!
I'm so excited by this. It feels like a great way to combine quite a few crafts I enjoy with embroidery - cross-stitching, felting, even scrapbooking of sorts with the collages and applique. Maybe I can incorporate some crochet as well.
I love this format and can't wait for your next video here.
You can put anything (and everything!) in it Trisha!
I like the idea of making a little stitch book at leisure, rather than having to work to a time schedule. That way I think you can do your best work and be more creative. I love the variety of pages and designwork and so nice to collate them into a precious little book of embroidery. TFS, it is delightful.
How wonderful
Your book is darling 💕
You are so utterly creative and i love all your ideas. You were only a couple months in and i hit the subscribe button !! Can't wait to go and check out your other videos as well. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you Jane!
Замечательный журнал у Вас получился! Все странички интересные, не похожие друг на друга. Никогда ранее не видела такие журналы, в моей стране популярны только подобные книги из бумаги. Вы вдохновляете попробовать этот новый для меня вид творческого самовыражения. Спасибо что Вы выкладывает в сеть свои работы!
Thank you for watching!
Just found your video , perfect inspiration. Thanks
Lovely.
Beautiful - I love it❤️
Lovely ❤😊
Always so many fun ideas!! More please!!!
I just found your second channel. Is lovely
Thank you, welcome onboard!
Lovely and creative work with you 😉😉 just enjoyed watching your video, thanks for sharing and inspiring to make it for myself because i also love to do embroidery 🪡❤
How wonderful. I loved each page more than the one before. I’m already thinking about doing this for next year. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work ❤
This is just lovely, such an inspiration
Sooooo beautiful!
I love this format !!!!
T gonna lie, I think I'm gonna try to organise monthly crafternoon sessions with my friends and put the books together and give it to them each at Christmas next year, if I can manage it. 😮😮
I've never really seen myself doing this type of abstract crafts much, but you definitely have inspired me to try. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Have seen your videos decided to subscribe today. Keep up the good work. Very educational. From Northern Wisconsin 😊
Love to learn this - with my left hand- 💕🥰
Oh Sarah, that is gorgeous. I’ve learnt so much from your other channel and I can never get over how generous you are with your skills. Thank you so much for all you add to my days. I have only just discovered this channel and I love it, it’s like sitting down with a friend and sharing what you’ve done. 🥰
Thank you Dawn! x
Great ideas. Thank you ❣️
Hi Sarah it would be cool to just attach the corners collectively with a ring and still encase it in the soft book without sewing it down. When I was studying horticulture, we used to press our plants on paper, used a hole punch on the corners and put a detachable ring so we could study the plants and see the whole page. Just a thought…🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Did the plants fall apart Mia?
No the plants were covered with a clear laminate to preserve them but fabric would be different. You could use grommets on the corners to preserve the holes in the corners of your fabric too!
😃🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
I like your format, it's good
Lovely pages! I was happy when the black wand was lost. The beetles are really really cool.
Beautiful, you have inspired me
LOVE AUGUST. My birth month. So cute and simpleish.
Great tutorial thank you I really enjoyed your other channel too. Thank you.
Yes, yes, I love this format so we can see how you create these lovely pieces.
What a great playtime. Really enjoy your videos.❤
I loved this Sarah and feel very privileged that you have shared this beautiful book wirh us. I have been a subscriber of your other channel for a while but have not yet been able to return to my stitching. I love your videos and regard the time I spend with you as my me time when I need to rest relax and recharge my batteries. My much loved late mum was called Sarah as is my eldest sister. Love vera in Northern Ireland
Thank you so much for your kind words Vera, this Creates channel is my relaxation, time to have a play and work on something I want to do. My mother in law is Vera so we share alot of names!
The book is Gorgeous!!!! Each page is so unique!!
I wish I could give this video 1,000 likes myself. So inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you BooBeaux, I wish you could too!
So Beautiful 🥰🥰❤️
Love this format, Sarah! I really like the idea of doing an embroidery book and will have to create one myself. Thank you for sharing!
Love this
such a beautiful idea
Beautiful
Having found your channel earlier this year I am still playing catch-up with all your videos which I am finding so very useful. Having watched this one I now have some idea as to what I can do with a few of my sample and experimental pieces that until now have just been laying dormant in a box. Once again, thank you very much Sarah for all your wonderful ideas.
Thank you Linda!
I really like how this is coming together you have given me lots of ideas to use up all my pieces from my sewing box. thank you ❤
It's nice to give them a new life and to make them into something!
What an wonderful project, Sarah, and what a fun video! Your creativity and skill never ceases to amaze me!
I love this project idea (and this video format)! What a great way to make small projects that still fit cohesively together . 😍
I really enjoy slow stitching and watching the process. I love videos where there is 5 parts to it, or more. New subbie here
Your creativity astounds me! I especially liked August with the paintbrush.
Thank you Keenan, I struggled with that one, it just needed a bit of thinking time!
Love the format, so interesting and inspiring. Thank you 😇
Beautiful book, I'll be watching for the finish. I have bought felt to make a needle case, but I have sewn miniatures in Pipers Floss so it may turn into a mini book for those. Thank you for sharing, love your work.
This is a great video. So many of us have all those little pieces and this is a fantastic way to show your work, your style and even your progress in learning. Thank you so much!♥️ can’t wait to see the final book! ♥️
I've just discovered one of the pieces my sister made when she was little (I had no idea!) so that's made it extra special
Just subscribed to your channel watching this video.
Thank you Vanessa! All the pages are now finished so I just have to put it together. Video on this coming!
I really like this format. Let's me really see what you are talking about. Thank you!
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing your projects with us. I love your imaginative and creative ideas for the pages. Each one is different and amazing and I was very intrigued with your thought process as you designed each month. I could almost feel the stress leaving me as I watched. You are definitely talented and inspiring. Thank you for the time and effort you put into each video. I appreciate it all.
Thank you Catherine!
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and how it all comes together. And thank you for sharing your beautiful work❤️
Hermosos tus trabajos y creaciones. Mil bendiciones y gracias por tus tutoriales me han inspirado.
Thank you Valeria! x
now this is commitment and art
Such a lovely idea, I have various bits of jewellery and odd earrings I have been unable to part with. So now I know how to turn them into something very special. Thank you so much xxx
I've just found some too that are going onto December Mary!
Amazing work Sarah so beautiful I loved the idea. I always learned so much from your tutorials.❤.
How very talented you are. Great video, lots of inspiration...I love the peacock 😍
Love this project idea Sarah , I’ve been following your other channel and had no idea about this one . Beautiful work .
Absolutely love this project and going through your process. Love this new channel too. Thank you for all you share.
Love this separate special channel. What a delightful presentation! Thank you for the amazing inspiration! Looking forward to more projects! Thank you.
Your fun little project is very inspiring! You could use a cloth hinge to attach 2 pages together and then sew each set of pages into a spine or put string around the outside of the cover spine ( 1 string for each set of pages ) and just slip each page behind the string
That's a great idea Terry, I might go that way! Then the pages won't be squashed up on one side...
