Sophie Crabb, a 30-year-old mother from Horsford, has recently released her first book, Sew Mindful Cross Stitch, which combines modern cross stitch projects with personal reflections on mindfulness and wellbeing. Prior to launching her book, Sophie worked as a broker and later started her own business, Sew Sophie Crafts, in 2019. Throughout her book, she shares her personal struggles with mental health and emphasizes the importance of crafting in her life.
The book launch event for Sew Mindful Cross Stitch will take place on Tuesday, December 19 at The Dog Inn in Horsford. Sophie’s goal for the book is for it to be more than just a collection of patterns, as she has incorporated personal messages and reflections on her own mental health battles. She believes that crafting holds a special place in her life and hopes to use it as a means of helping others discover the mental health benefits of crafting. Sophie’s personal experiences with depression, anxiety, overthinking, and imposter syndrome have led her to advocate for the combination of cross-stitch, mindfulness, and crafting for mental calm.
Sew Mindful Cross Stitch not only includes modern cross stitch projects, but also delves into Sophie’s struggles with mental health, and how crafting has helped her to overcome these challenges. According to Sophie, the combination of cross-stitch, mindfulness, and crafting for calm has significantly impacted her mental health, and she now aims to share these benefits with others. The book is available for purchase on her website, where orders come with a custom bookmark and the option to include a limited edition needle minder. Sophie also plans to offer signed copies of the book at her book launch event, where attendees can learn more about her personal journey and the benefits of crafting for mental health.
