I made some time yesterday and today to practice the backstitch. The solid lines this makes are super satisfying. I've been stressed as I wrap up packing to move internationally, and having this simple little ritual has quickly become a very necessary time and space where I'm able to take my mind off of all the stress for a bit. I can't wait to see how my little ritual changes after my move!

Today I did a few more runs of this stitch. And then I used it to attach a piece of fabric to my tote bag. I find myself doing things that apparently have specific names I just don’t know what they are until I see a video lol

So I was first practicing on scraps of denim because it was easier to manage without a hoop, but now that I have a hoop, I started on my tote bag. And I’ve made some cool stuff along with messy stuff lol yet I can not stop stitching. Through the process I realized how critical I am of myself and just keep reminding myself to let it be. And so here are a couple of photos of this process.

I love the running stitch, I can definitely see this being a favorite stitch. I had a lot of fun with this one, especially making these circles that I'm currently working on!
