  • Started the weekend off with woven mends at @wyldwoodcreative! Thanks everyone who came to class and learned to mend with me.

I love sharing who you can use a needle and thread to breathe new life into a well loved garment.

  • Mail days after a trade show are kind of crazy. Thanks to all the current and new shops who stocked up on my hand embroidery kits and stick and stitch patterns at @hhamericas! 
⁠
Now back to filling orders, because this isn’t even everything...⁠

  • About 2.5 hours of work to put together 36 of my 3D Coneflower embroidery kits. And that’s just for one of my wholesale orders. This small business lady is going to be busy for a while!⁠
⁠
And yes, I did change into cozy pants half way through this video, because it’s my studio and I make the rules!⁠

  • While at @hhamericas trade show last week, I wrapped up my busy days with a little night time stitching. I’ve been envisioning some sort of pressed pennies pattern for a while now and I sketched these out just before heading to the airport for my trip.⁠
⁠
I’m thinking these will be a new stick and stitch pattern pack. What do you think?⁠

  • This weekend is all about mending! ❤️🧵 I’m teaching a woven mending class at @wyldwoodcreative on Saturday.
⁠
5/17 Join me at Wyldwood Creative to learn how to visibly mend your clothing with woven mends. In this class we’ll cover the weave stitch and buttonhole mends. You’re welcome to bring a garment to mend or practice on fabric provided.⁠

Class is beginner-friendly!

  • Last day of @hhamericas! Are we going a little delulu? Maybe. Are we having so much fun seeing fellow makers, creatives, and shop owners, 100% yes! 

If you’re attending the show, be sure to stop by booths 1533, 1516, and 1412 to say hi to @mcreativej, @woodsy_craftco and @elle.cree.pdx

  • What better way to say hello to to brand new advanced embroidery kits than to launch them at @hhamericas! 

Say hello to Under the Sea and Woodland Snail!

These embroidery kits both play with sculptural stitching elements like needle weaving and stumpwork to bring them to life. I can’t wait for shops to carry these new kits and for you to stitch them too.

  • It’s the first day of the @hhamericas trade show. Somehow I’ve worked out, put on a cute outfit, eaten a healthy breakfast, and gotten here early for the show, so let’s hope that leads to more good things for today too. 

I love this wholesale show because I get to connect with shops, makers, and creators, that are just as excited about fiber arts and embroidery as me.

  • This week I’m in Chicago for a trade show. And while I’m here, I’m also squeezing in two workshops! I just couldn’t resist.⁠
⁠
First up, I’m teaching an evening embroidery class on 5/9 at @nina_chicago. I’ll show you how to use beginner-friendly hand embroidery stitches to upcycle your tote bag with vegetables. You’ll get to choose from a wide selection of embroidery threads and vegetable patterns to stitch on your bag.⁠
⁠
Then on Saturday morning 5/10 you can join me at @maydelcraft to upcycle your shoes with colorful cloud embroidery. Stitching on your shoes can be tricky, so I’ll share helpful tips and tricks from my book, DIY Embroidered Shoes.
