You've been craving a hobby for a while now.

But saving videos and pattern inspiration isn't the same thing as actually having a hobby.

You don't need a ton of supplies or two hours of free time.

You just need one stitch, one pattern and 15 quiet minutes.

It's 8 PM. The kids are asleep.You grab your project and put Gilmore Girls on in the background.The to-do list goes quiet for a while.You end the day with something you actually made.

From my students

A little time that's just for you

"Something to be excited about that's for me"

"You hear a lot about how moms of young kids lose themselves a bit, and I definitely felt that for myself. This has given me something to be excited about that's for me, but still allows me to make things for my kids!"
AmandaBeginner Course Graduate + Stitch Collective Member

"Finally giving me something to do for ME"

"Taking up embroidery is finally giving me something to do for ME. As a mom and a teacher, I have very little time for myself... Hand embroidery has given me so much that I didn't even know I needed!"
RitaBeginner and Floral Course Graduate

"I've never even threaded a needle before!"

"The course was so easy to follow. There are written, photo, and video components so it makes it really easy to understand. I felt confident going into my first project, and I've never even threaded a needle before!"

Hi, I'm Jessy

The hobby that made me feel like me again

I'm a mom to three little hooligans.

Being a mom is my favorite role in the world. For a while, it also took over my whole identity.

I started embroidery because I needed something just for me. It filled my cup in a way I didn't expect.

Now I'm here to help you find the time for a hobby that's just for you. You deserve it.

XOXO, Jessy.
