Welcome to Slew Living! I'm Esther and I sew stuff to support a slow sustainable lifestyle.

In this video I talk about how and why we use projectors for sewing (there are some great benefits!) and then walk you through setting one up. There are lots of different set ups (different projectors, cables and computer variations), so I am specifically setting up an Epson ultra short throw (UST) projector on a Mac laptop using a USB cord connection, and viewing on Adobe Acrobat (free pdf program).

It’s my goal to be uploading weekly again so if you have any video suggestions feel free to leave a comment below, thanks!

If you’re starting to learn about sustainable and ethical living and how to curate a more mindful lifestyle, a great step is to learn how to sew. Mending your own items increases our appreciation for ‘stuff’, so I hope you find something on my channel to spark some creativity.
In the words of the late Vivienne Westwood, ‘Buy less, choose well and make it last!’
