LEARN MORE What I'm Working On It's been a busy week at Clever Poppy HQ with our Black Friday sale on! I don't usually get too involved with the shop side of things, but at times it's been all hands on deck including me! Thanks so much for all of your wonderful orders coming through!   On the creative side I've spent the last few days getting my head around blanket stitch, and creating a really thorough tutorial on this for our members. I decided to showcase this technique on a single layer of fabric, plus as a joining stitch for two layers of felt. So it's been a big job but will totally be worth it!   I'm also deep into producing our new suite of beginner kit patterns, which is really fun! Happy Stitching!
