Hello everybody!
I’m so happy you have come here today, the first day of my first blog EVER! Sorry, was that too loud?!
Mindfulness and slow sewing may not sound like natural partners, but I can assure you they are a perfect fit. When you are lost in the moment with your fabrics, your needle and your thread, nothing else seems important and you can just drift away.
A fellow slow sewer recently shared how she gets lost ‘in a bubble’ when sewing. I absolutely love that description. It’s kind of like there is a calmness enveloping you and letting you be in the moment. Or be in a bubble. Same thing, right?
So we are on a journey together – you, me and everyone else reading this. Together let’s enjoy the process as much as, if not more than, the end results.
On this blog, I’ll share thoughts and ideas about slow sewing and mindfulness. For me, this is about having fun, relaxing, smiling and generally reducing stress as low as possible. Is it the same for you?
If you ever see me forget that, please do give me a gentle nudge. I’ve been known to get very excitable about things I love!
And remember, this blog is also for and about you. You’re always welcome to chip in and ask questions or suggest things. As with slow sewing there are no rules, apart from being kind, of course. It’s all about growing together.
