In this video I show you how you can turn paper into fabric that you can use for embroidery or slow stitching. The method that I am sharing is called Momigami or Japanese paper kneading. It’s relaxing to do and a great way to create a new medium for stitching into.

I’m also sharing the first of what will be a series of textile art and slow stitching pieces celebrating the history of Melbourne where I live. I’m using old street directory pages as my base and then stitching imagery or words to capture history.

This first piece celebrates the Skipping Girl neon sign known as Audrey. Here’s a link to the page I am referring to in the video:

I hope this video inspires you to give Momigami a go and try slow stitching or stitching into it.

Cheers,
Christine
