The cutest little otters you'll ever stitch 🦦

Hi there Britta!

We've just launched a new beginner kit today that we are so thrilled to bring into the world.

It's called Happy Otters and it features two loveable otters floating hand-in-hand, surrounded by sweet details like starfish, shells and seaweed fronds.

This pattern features watercolor paint which is such a fun technique to play with.

Happy stitching,

Lazy daisy: Our go-to stitch 🌿

FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $70

Beginner Kits

Wash Away Embroidery Stickers

Hi there Britta!

If you’ve stitched any of our kits, you’ll already know just how much we love the lazy daisy technique and today we’re sharing exactly why.

This sweet little stitch (also known as the detached chain stitch) is one of our all time favorites because it creates the most beautiful petals, leaves and playful details with just a simple loop and anchor.

We've put together a helpful blog where we walk you through this beginner technique, from forming that first loop to adjusting the tension to get the look you're wanting for your projects.

We also share our favorite tips for fixing narrow loops, managing your floss and building confidence as you practice.

We’ve included examples from some of our much loved patterns so you can see how this technique adds texture, movement and personality to your embroidery.

We can’t wait to see how you bring this stitch to life in your own projects.
