Your twining is what some of us hairdressers call a rope braid. Its very beautiful.

I truly have enjoyed listening to you explain the process. I think your voice is lovely and calming! Thank you for providing tutorials!

When I listen to you teaching, I feel as if I'm laughing with a sister. Thank you for your genuineness.

This is such a fun & useful idea! As a lifetime quilter/seamstress I have a room full of fabric, tools, machines, etc... In addition, i have inherited my mother's sewing things. She was a heirloom seamstress, making lovely baby dresses, wedding dresses, etc... all in silks, Swiss & French cottons and beautiful laces. Being a quilter I save the tiniest of scraps and have saved them for almost 50 years. I plan on spending the rest of my life using them up (in addition to my quilts and dresses). The way you've developed this slow stitching would make a wonderful way to teach youngsters to sew. I have a granddaughter who is 7 and anxious to learn. Of course I cant wait to teach her and put together a sewing basket for her. Currently Im hand piecing small quilt blocks. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. Its amazing to see how many people are interested. I suppose, because sewing is usually a solitary activity, i forget there are others who do the same thing and do msny who want to learn. Thank you for doing this snd sharing your lovely creations.

I never knew twining fabric strips was so fascinating! I’ve loved your clear instructions. Looking forward to a tutorial on baskets from twine!

[bettyereece]

The things you make and demonstrate for others to make are so beautiful. I so enjoy your soft, soothing and clear voice. You are so inspiring❤. Thank you so much for your time in sharing all the ways you create new and repurposed cloth, twins, strings etc. I hope to begin a project or two soon! Again, many thanks!

[suethompson]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you. I loved seeing the beautiful things you have made and am inspired to have a go myself. The colours and textures and the hand stitching are such a compelling combination.

. Learning an old craft and passing it along is a gift ! This was so interesting and sharing your treasures was inspiring. Too much is mechanized these days. Looking forward to learning more with you. Mary Suzanne from British Columbia Canada

I love watching your videos, your commentary is something that I resonate with so much. It feels like crafting with a friend ❤

[beejayoung]

Such beautiful pieces. They look lovely with the twine. Thank you for showing how to make it.

I watched your meditation video and OMG I loved it. When I get stressed I now take the pieces of fabric, sew little lines, put it on the wooden thread spool and it is so mesmerizing and settles my mind. Little things in life have more meaning than something big. People have started asking me what my spools are since I have them in quilting room, on display…Love it.

Such beautiful art Kathryn, your books are heirlooms, well actually all your art is, exquisite hand work. Hugs from Australia and thank you for sharing with us, you have made me want to try a very small piece.❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Kathryn, for sharing this and all your other videos. I have always been someone who did things 'by the book', as that is how I was your videos have opened up so many more possibilities for me, and made me accept the fact that there is really no 'wrong' way to do something, just 'another' now i have so many ideas waiting to burst forth! Thank you again! X

[kathybarker]

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your makes and your process. Your work is truly beautiful and I am genuinely inspired to get started on my own projects. Please keep your videos coming.

[ambertriplett]

I have so many things to say. first, thank you for this video. second, your little sewing pouch is adorable that fabric is beautiful! third, I have scrap fabric strips I have been saving for years. just to keep my hands busy I used to make braids with the strips. today I was on Etsy looking for some rustic cord for a sewing project when I came across twine. it was what i was looking for, but a tad pricey. so, I decided to come to YouTube to find a vid on how to make it and here i am. you just saved me a lot of money and put my scraps to great use. i mostly use knit fabrics. wish me luck 😊

Going to start working on these so that I have practice for the Japanese rice bag - so excited for that - and for a friend gift for her book making. Will also work great for finishing my needlework and crosstitch. Thank you!
