“I don’t have time to be creative.”

Maybe your days are full. Work, family, laundry, the never-ending list of tiny tasks. By the time you finally sit down, your brain is buzzing and your phone is the easiest thing to reach.

You want something peaceful. Something with your hands that doesn’t ask you to be perfect or productive. But long classes and big projects feel like one more thing you’ll never finish.

Slow stitching meets you right where you are. Ten minutes. A scrap of fabric. Simple, wobbly stitches that are allowed to be exactly what they are.

This guide shows you how to turn those ten minutes into a small daily ritual that gently quiets your mind—without ever asking you to sit still, empty your thoughts, or do it “right.”

Who the 10 Minute Slow Stitch Guide is for

You don’t need to be “creative” or have hours of free time. This is for real humans with real lives who just want one small, kind thing that’s theirs.

Gentle beginners

If you’ve never held a needle, you’re in the right place. You’ll learn the absolute basics without jargon, perfectionism, or pressure.

Busy, buzzing minds

If traditional meditation feels impossible, slow stitching gives your hands something to do while your thoughts gently untangle themselves.

Anyone craving a peaceful hobby

Create something tangible and beautiful—piece by piece—in the small pockets of time you already have, without turning your hobby into another project to manage.

Meet the heart behind Stitch 10 Minutes a Day

Hi I am Joanne and I’m the kind of person whose mind rarely sits still. Slow stitching became the one place I could let my thoughts wander without getting lost in them.

Ten minutes with needle and thread each day slowly turned into a gentle anchor—something my hands could return to no matter how loud life felt.

I created this guide to share that same softness with you—to prove that you don’t need more time, more talent, or more discipline. You just need a tiny invitation to begin.

“I started with ten minutes before bed. Now it’s my favorite part of the day. My stitches aren’t perfect—but the way I feel after? That’s the magic.”

Questions you might be asking

Still wondering if this is for you? These might help.

If your heart whispers “yes” when you think about ten quiet minutes with needle and thread, the guide will show you exactly how to begin.

I’ve never stitched before. Will I be lost?

You’ll be guided as if you’re starting completely from scratch. The guide explains what you need (and what you don’t), how to hold your needle, how to make your very first stitches, and how to keep things simple so you don’t get overwhelmed.

Do I really only need 10 minutes?

Yes. The guide is built around tiny pockets of time. Ten minutes is enough to thread your needle, make a few rows of stitches, and take a deeper breath than you have all day. If you have more time, wonderful—but it’s never required.

What if my stitches are messy or uneven?

Then you’re doing it right. Slow stitching is about presence, not perfection. Imperfect, wobbly, human stitches are the point. The guide will show you how to welcome that instead of fighting it.

Is this really free?

Yes. The 10 Minute Slow Stitch Guide is a free gift. You’ll also receive gentle emails with more slow stitching inspiration. If they ever stop feeling good, you can unsubscribe with a single click.
