Love hand sewing

Hand stitching embroidery onto a blazer. I love the peacefulness of hand sewing. It’s so calming to steadily work with your hands, making precision stitches slowly while watching TV or listening to music, audiobooks etc…

As the festivities begin to settle and the outer world gently returns to its rhythm, allow yourself to ease back in rather than rush forward.

Your nervous system has been held in celebration, connection, and stimulation. It’s natural to feel tender, quiet, or a little unanchored now. There is no need to force productivity or “snap back” into routine.

Move slowly. Breathe deeply. Let your body set the pace.

Simple rituals can help—warm drinks, early nights, time in nature, moments of stillness. Even small acts of grounding create space for integration and balance.

Trust that you don’t need to do everything at once. The energy of the new cycle will meet you when you’re ready.

Be gentle with yourself. You are still arriving 🤍

Loved this little project. I unpicked the edges where the buttons are, unpicked the hem, cut off about 8/9cm then, reattached the base band onto the hem, tucked it back into the button/button hole edging and restitched it all up again so it looks as it was meant to. I’m really happy with this one and I love that my customer can now wear this beautiful dress. So if you need anything altered or perhaps you need a custom item made, please feel free to contact me.
