162. Slow Stitching a Fabric Book Inspired by Sink Reflections Part 4 #roxysjournalofstitchery

Today I’m stitching the next page in my slow-stitched book inspired by FlyLady ideas.This page features a pair of embroidered lace-up shoes, not as a symbol of appearance, but of support. FlyLady talks about wearing shoes at home as a way of reminding ourselves that we are steady, capable, and ready to take care of what matters. In this video, I reflect on how that idea translates beyond the home and into creative life and how progress happens through baby steps rather than big leaps. As I draw and stitch, I talk about starting where you are, using what you have, and trusting that small, consistent actions quietly add up over time. If you enjoy calm stitching, thoughtful conversation, and creative projects that unfold at their own pace, I’m very glad you’re here.😊 Chapters 00:00:00:00 Intro 00:01:53:19 Picking a sheer fabric 00:05:00:00 Get dressed every day 00:09:38:12 What does getting dressed mean for you? 00:15:17:22 Use your nice things 00:18:01:45 Take time for tea 00:19:04:17 Silk ribbon embroidery tips 00:22:38:18 The finished page Textile Tales – Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery (Volume 9) is a slow stitching series where we pay homage to favourite books by creating fabric books. Each book is stitched over four weeks, one folded fabric piece at a time. Many thanks, as always, to the Roxy sisters for the prompts that spark these projects: Roxy Creations by Sarah @roxycreationsbysarah Roxy Creations @roxycreations679 Thank you for being here and sharing this stitching time with me.
