Denver I’m back at on Saturday in Cherry Creek! Get your mama a custom embroidered item for Mother’s Day - maybe a tea towel, blouse, or denim? (Of course you can also get chainstitch for yourself too 🙂)
Thanks for having me back, Anthro!!

There is something about hand-cranking dapper-looking invertebrate patches that makes the soul happy.⁠

There is something special about a goldfish. While a common creature, their iconic body shape feels familiar. Maybe it's their ethereal beauty or their resiliency. It's said they symbolize abundance.⁠
⁠
I actually really loved stitching these two-toned scaled beauties. What do you think of them?⁠
⁠
This limited edition goldfish patch is available on the website (link in bio)!⁠

This new work jumpsuit I stitched is not only fashionable, but factual!⁠
⁠
I am never not making stuff because this creative outlet turned into my full-time dream job. ⁠
⁠
There is something about it that just feels right and extremely exciting. Many weekends are spent doing in-person chainstitch work, talking about patches and the machine that makes the magic happen. Weeks are spent creating, planning, packing and shipping orders, connecting with other businesses, and so much more.⁠
⁠
I can’t see life any differently and it’s hard to imagine a time when this wasn’t the case!⁠
