There is something grounding about sitting with children, needle and thread in hand, letting time slow. In the gentle rhythm of stitching, stories surface, ideas unfold, and relationships deepen. This webinar celebrates the magic of shared making and the possibilities that appear when textiles invite us to be present, listen carefully, and notice small details. A simple basket of fabric, thread, and tools becomes more than materials. It becomes an invitation to wonder, collaborate, and find joy in the process rather than the product. Catherine will guide you through ways slow stitching can nurture children’s autonomy, imagination, and sense of belonging while supporting educator wellbeing and reflective practice. Together we will explore how this mindful, hands-on approach can become a warm and meaningful part of your pedagogy.

Leave feeling ready to:
• Introduce slow stitching in ways that support children’s autonomy, imagination, and genuine engagement.
• Use textiles and shared making to build deeper relationships and moments of calm, presence, and connection.
• Create stitching experiences that enrich creativity while supporting your own wellbeing and reflective practice.
