On The Blog:
Bullion Knots

Bullion Knots are a beautiful embroidery technique that adds a whole bunch of texture and a raised three-dimensional effect to your projects, perfect for flowers and foliage. Think of them as a sister to French Knots, but longer and more intricate.

Check out our blog post to try this technique and add a new dimension to your embroidery!

Clever Poppy Maker Spotlight

This week, Maker's Academy Member Xiomari created a Moonlit Blooms embroidered top for her daughter.

She shared: "I love seeing my little girl wear things I embroidered on for her. She's wearing a 12m shirt and I think the design size is perfect for this size!"

In Our World

I'm SUPER excited about an upcoming pattern I've been working on, and I just had to share a sneak peek with you! For months (make that over a year!), we had the idea of adding a mandala design to our collection, but I was waiting for the perfect moment since it took some time to figure out how to blend a mandala with the style we love at Clever Poppy.

The moment I started designing and incorporating florals, everything just clicked - it all flowed together so naturally. I even began stitching it up that very evening! The result is something we absolutely adore, and I can't wait to share the complete design with you when it's released.

Stay tuned…
