I Sew Slowly … On Purpose.
In a world that moves fast and produces endlessly, sewing has become my way of pushing back. Slow sewing allows me to pay attention: to the way linen softens with handling, how a seam sits on the body, and how a piece feels when it’s truly finished—not rushed.
Sewing slowly isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
Letting the Process Lead
When I slow down, I make better decisions. I cut more carefully. I press seams with intention. I notice when something isn’t working and give myself permission to stop, adjust, or even start over.
There’s freedom in that.
Slow sewing reminds me that making something by hand is not meant to be hurried. Each piece has its own pace, and respecting that pace is part of honoring the craft.
Choosing Materials That Matter
The way I sew is deeply connected to the materials I choose. Natural fibers—especially linen—respond beautifully to time and care. They age well, soften with wear, and carry the marks of being lived in.
Sewing slowly allows those materials to shine. It gives space for thoughtful construction and long-lasting comfort.
Sewing as a Practice
For me, sewing isn’t just about the finished garment. It’s a practice—a way to be grounded, creative, and intentional. It’s a quiet counterbalance to the noise of everyday life.
That’s what I hope to share here: not just what I make, but how and why I make it this way.
If you’re drawn to slower ways of creating, you’re in the right place.
