    The Japanese slow stitching is called Sashiko. It was used on men’s work clothing in areas of the clothing (knees) in order to keep the wear and tear limited. This is considered an art form in Japan, and requires great study. Work/cleaning cloths were also made as well. This art is still in use today, and the Japanese people do not see other trying their hands at it as cultural appropriation in the least. In fact they see it as a compliment.

    The ideas are coming thick and fast thanks to you. Bag charms for your favorite handbag Purse. Key ring charm Wrist pouch for runners/walkers Luggage tags Coffee cup sleeve for your reusable cup. Pencil/paintbrush/makeup brush roll. Cutlery sleeve for your lunchbox. I'm sure I could think of more but I need to make some of these first! Thanks.
  • Wow! I am so happy to see your ideas because…one, they are beautiful but also , so useful and practical and creative!!! I have been thinking what does one do with these beautifully stitched pieces besides put them in a treasure box to look at from time to time. Thank you!!!! My “wheels are turning! “
  • I loved the way Ginger Cat rolled around on his toy😂 lots of great ideas, heading for the bunting video now😊

    Idea for your base fabric...cutter quilts. I have collected a few handmade ones that have been harvest by crafters already. One I bought was very old and falling apart (I photographed sections to use in my digital art) but now you have me thinking about slow stitching projects as well. I hate to see anything handmade go to waste. I often think about who the quilter was and how I can preserve their work.
  • Thank you. Lovely items you have created. First time watching your channel. 💗

    I'm making bags for some Christmas ornaments, so they can be packed up and protected.

    I love the plant pot covers! I have so many beautiful plants in ugly brown plastic pots. And when I buy a nice ceramic pot, it's never the right height or width or shape to hide the brown plastic ugliness! Headphone or earpod cases are good in slow stitch too (just fastened with a small loop and button) and make a nice gift :)
  • Great ideas. I have made needle books. I really like to just look at my slow stitched pieces and touch them.😊
  • @Charlie-cz3jh
    Great idea for the facial cleaning wipes! The disposables are so expensive and I will feel better not throwing stuff in the garbage. Cute stuff. Thank You❣🤗

    Great ideas! The watch band is brilliant. My mom's band just broke on her watch and it's a strange size to find a replacement. Maybe I'll make her one! I followed along with your video to make a book cover, but that's all I've done with slow stitching so far. I think it'd be fun to decorate a pair of pants with slow stitching. I saw somewhere online that someone put a piece of fabric with a T-Rex on it, behind a hole in their jeans. It looked like the T-Rex was busting out of the hole. It was really cool!
  • Brilliant idea with the lens cleaning liner cloth! Kudos to your hubby! Love all these Sarah❤
  • @debbiewood7718
    Good ideas. I like the idea of making the broach into a name tag for a retreat. It would be a lovely keepsake and you could use it other times when a name tag would be nice to wear.

    ❤❤❤❤❤ Super video..as always. On the snap purse/bag..I remember my grandmother having one with her glasses inside. You've given me some great ideas. Thank you and God bless you.
  • @poodlegirl55
    Those are some fabulous projects. Thanks for sharing. I just made a few cute headbands for my granddaughter.
