Feel the benefits of sewing by hand for your wellbeing and for the
planet with these mindful and sustainable makes. Hand sewing is a
great way to practise mindfulness through craft. Laura Strutt has
designed these 35 projects specially to develop your hand-sewing
skills, but also to help you slow down, enjoy the moment, and
appreciate the rewards of your work. Using a number of different
techniques including visible mending, sashiko, embroidery, thread
doodling, boro and abstract embroidery, Laura shows you how to
incorporate these methods into making something useful, creative
and sustainable. For the home, you can make a boro bowl from scraps
of fabric, or adorn a simple cushion cover with an embroidered
mandala. From your wardrobe, revive a beanie hat by adding some
floral embroidery to the rim, or use sashiko stitching on
fabric-covered buttons for a new look. Decorate your home with a
floating embroidery design in a hoop, or a simple banner using
colourful couching stitches over twisted rope. Think of the planet
as you upcycle a blouse with detail stitching and new sleeve trim,
or make elbow patches to cover the holes in your favourite sweater.
Whichever project you choose, take time to enjoy the process and
simply sew.
