The biggest reason I created this shop was to contribute to keeping handcrafts alive in America. I also want to promote true sustainability by embroidering gently used clothing, giving them new life and making it one of a kind. There is something so beautiful and unique about hand embroidery that when I learned I couldn’t stop stitching. So I design kits to teach others this wonderful craft, as well as selling kits in different mediums made by other independent designers like myself. I think in a world where everything is so fast paced and digital that it’s really important to keep the humanness in art by making by hand. Not something mass produced, but something that makes a whole lot of impact with a smaller footprint.
