In Our World This week our focus in the studios has been on filming tutorials for our new beginner kits. It's always awesome knowing that sharing our knowledge will help loads of customers learn embroidery! I've also been absolutely loving spending my free time stitching our new members pattern - Easter Basket. It's for super confident makers, which means it's quite detailed and uses a wide range of techniques. It's been really fun losing myself in the detail! I've posted a progress pic below. I'm also thrilled with the positive feedback we're getting about this pattern, and want to say a big thank you to our team member Bess who took the lead on designing this cute Easter themed pattern. It's a wonderful addition to our library. Happy stitching everyone!
