Stitch along with me! Tips, Ideas & Inspiration in a relaxed flexible way that gives you permission to give Slow Stitching a go!
Slow Stitching is sewing by hand using needle and thread, enjoying the slow relaxing process without worrying about perfection or precision. The end project is not the sole goal but rather the making and creating process is equally important.
My name is Jo and I create Textile Collage Art using Slow Stitching and Hand Embroidery. I live and work in Northern B.C. Canada on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T’enneh Peoples, part of the Dakelh (Carrier) Peoples' territory.
From Beginners to Experienced, All are Welcome to join in as I share my Textile Art practice and thought processes.
My Stitched Artworks can be found in the book 350+ Quilting Tips, Techniques and Trade Secrets (2018) and have been featured in Art Quilting Studio magazine.

I loved drip dyeing this fabric. I’m a big fan of these small bottles too. Right out of the bottle they are ready to use. A little goes a long way, especially if you add water like I did. See the start to finish here: https://youtu.be/Dg3pQ3czH2w I plan on making more of these. I have so many ideas. Highly recommend trying these out! ~ Jo

My new favourite Pin Cushion! It's called a Biscornu and it's 2 offset squares stitched together. The construction is surprisingly simple. See my pin cushion come together https://youtu.be/3TyjSKYFevw I used wool felt but cotton fabric with the edges folded under would also be a good choice. I think this would be a great gift for anyone who sews. The embellishment options are endless!

Loving the simplicity of slow stitching using a limited colour palette! The stitching is simple too, using mostly Seed Stitch all over and adding French Knots for flowers and Blanket Stitch on the edges. I chose to leave the top frayed, open and unstitched to suggest an endless sky. It's a freeform landscape that was so relaxing to stitch. You can see the whole process here: https://youtu.be/xivJgNeMwNU What are you making today?

What is it about these little pouches? I keep making them! One with a Bird silhouette (see it here: https://youtu.be/oarhfm61YQU ) and another with Mushrooms (here: https://youtu.be/YikZsj7O0tA ). And I've made kits so you can make your own using fabrics curated from my stash. www.jomorphett.com/shop. So many possibilities! ~Jo

Have you tried the Spiral Blanket Stitch? It's a top favourite of mine as a relaxing Slow Stitch that gives gorgeous results. Watch the process for the bird https://youtu.be/vJeQ6EyjRy4 and stitched around the fox https://youtu.be/ZBTlV1laAYI It comes out beautifully every time and it's so satisfying! ~Jo

Stitching the wing and eye of this colourful bird outside while listening to the birds chirping in the trees was so relaxing! Do you ever stitch outdoors? See this bird come to life here: https://youtu.be/Z3vG_Kqpj_E

I love a needle book (or two!) but I'm really loving this larger Sewing Keep with enough room to store a small project, along with bobbins of floss and needles - and it's fully customizable. Make your own! It all starts with a rectangle. Full Tutorial here: https://youtu.be/96dAUDidZzc. ~Jo

Do you find penguins as cute as I do? Stitch a Penguin with me!
You can turn your completed piece into a rug mug, a brooch, a darning patch, attach it to a canvas or frame it as a work of art!
