Developing Embroidery Patterns
All of my embroidery patterns are made with maximum makability and enjoyment in mind! I make each pattern from scratch and test drive them myself before putting them out there for others to enjoy. Patterns are such a lovely way of sharing my passion for nature stitching. I am excited about making kits and patterns that others can enjoy, sharing the love of learning how to stitch creatures and plants. Often people will have some experience of stitching as a kid. I feel that art making practice becomes harder as jobs and life takes over, but I think having an embroidery that you can pick up whenever you have a few minutes is so soothing and helps to center people when feeling stressed and busy or just as a relaxing Sunday afternoon activity. I start out with my own embroideries, using them as an outline for a pattern. I then simplify them to create diagrams that are easy to follow, based on a system around colors like painting with numbers and step by step instructions. I trace my steps back to starting an embroidery paying attention to every part of the process. These patterns are designed to lead you every step of the way to help a sometimes overwhelming-feeling process feel accessible and fun! Each downloadable pattern comes with detailed instructions on gathering materials, transferring patterns, setting up your hoop and a step by step guide on stitching your chosen design.
