Looking for easy no stress Slow Stitching? Create a Rectangle! If you have tried slow stitching but don’t know what to do with it when it’s finished, let me help!

I’ll show how you can take a simple rectangle shape, add a fabric patchwork collage, cover it in Slow Stitching and then transform your stitched piece into something functional and beautiful.

So join me as I stitch a rectangle to make a mini book with pages, I’m also going to give all the details to show how with a few tweaks you can create multiple alternate projects all starting with the humble rectangle as a base.

See the links below for projects you can create with a rectangle.
Slow stitching this way is so relaxing because you don’t have to think about following a complex pattern or worry about your stitches being perfect. It’s all about free flowing relaxing creativity. Stitch Along with Me! #slowstitching
