This month the Market Harborough WI Craft Club was busy trying out Mindful Stitching – also called Slow Stitching.

In a busy world constantly asking for perfection, Mindful Stitching is all about slowing down. Using fabric scraps and thread the idea is to just sew bits together, enjoying doing something for the sake of it, noticing and appreciating the detail of what one is doing and enjoying the journey. A bit like doodling with needle and thread…

Everyone brought some bits and pieces and the group was soon busy matching fabric bits and sewing away to their hearts content – and having a good natter while at it (what would a WI meeting be without one…). 

Since slow is the operative word, at the end of the session the pieces were ready to take home to finish off at leisure (slowly!), but the works in progress already looked fabulous!
