French Braid Technique | | If you're ready to take your embroidery to the next level, why not try hair embroidery?
This technique lets you create stunning, realistic hairstyles like french braids and elegant up dos, adding gorgeous texture and 3D effects to your designs.
In my tutorial, I'll show you step-by-step how to embroider a French braid, starting with the essential turkey stitch to create the strands.
It's a fun and creative way to make your patterns truly unique. Ready to dive in? | | | | |
Ready to kick off your next stitching adventure? I've got a brand new kit coming your way, and I honestly can't wait to reveal the full design with you!
This beginner-friendly pattern is packed with charm, featuring the sweetest adventure scene - perfect for a nursery or a kid's bedroom.
Keep an eye on your inbox, because this new kit is launching soon… and I just know you're going to fall in love with it! | | | | |
This week, our Embroidery for Beginners Facebook group has been buzzing with creativity. Here are some of the highlights: - Heather turned our Floral Stitch Sampler into a beautiful beehive scene. Take a peek here.

| | Plus, tons of other inspiring posts are waiting for you... | | This week, Makers Academy member Christina shared her unique spin on our Purrfect Pot Plants pattern.
She said: "I had fun changing this one up a little. I thought it'd be nice to fill in the pots and give our naughty kitty something he was chasing. The butterfly is from the Love Potion pattern."

Hello everyone! Lots of creative projects have been ticking along this week - embroidery stickers, needle minders, and a new fox-themed beginner pattern. I have to say it was such a highlight to launch our flower stall pattern to members on the 1st! Complex patterns that challenge our members are definitely a labour of love. They take a huge chunk of time to design, prototype, stitch up, explain step-by-step, and style. But it's a million times worth it to see how excited everyone is to stitch it up!
I'm also thrilled to have chosen a beautiful new red thread colour to add to our set. Bess and I narrowed it down to 2 colours, and spent quite some time testing them on various designs, to see which one popped the most. The red we've chosen is deep and rich in colour - it's making me excited to get cracking on designing our upcoming festive patterns!
Have a great week everyone. | | | | |
