Your first make. A little word to carry through your day.
Today I am going to be… patient. Or brave, or kind, or gentle. Stitch twenty simple symbols onto little felt circles, keep them in a jar by the kettle, and each morning pick the word you want to carry with you.
Your Gentle Introduction to Hand-Sewing
Never held a needle? This is where your Hygge Makers journey begins. Each affirmation is a simple outline, so you can learn to hand-sew slowly, one little word at a time.
No sewing machine needed. Just a needle, some thread and a scrap of fabric. Each affirmation takes about 15 minutes, perfect for a slow evening on the sofa with a cup of tea. Wobbly stitches look hand-made and lovely, so there’s no wrong way to do it.
Stitches you’ll use again. Once you’ve learned them here, you can use the same hand stitches to sew your hygge bag and your hyggebukser, all by hand.
Make them with your children too. They can stitch the simpler shapes, or colour in their word for the day on the printable sheet before school.
Which Word Will You Stitch First?
Patient: for the busy mornings, when shoes go missing and the clock is ticking.
Brave: for a big day, a hard conversation or something new.
Kind: to others, and to yourself. Slip it in a lunchbox on the school run.
Gentle: for the tired evenings, when you’re running on empty.
