I always underestimate how long my patterns will take! I spent at least 25 hours on the written pattern/YouTube tutorial for my hamburger felt project this past week, and I still have about 20% left. I’ve loved working on it, but I could tell my mind needed a break.

I was tempted to keep pushing through the weekend (I hate when I haven’t posted anything new online!), but I also felt like I needed something that required less brainpower. So, I started working on a Halloween tablecloth! 🎃 I’ve been wanting to create more meaningful handmade holiday decor to use in my home every year.

I thrifted this tablecloth for $1 and I’m cutting out Halloween themed shapes to sew onto it. I’m so excited about how it’s coming together! 👻

Living and running my business from an apartment means storage is limited, so fabric holiday decor feels like the perfect solution. Meaningful and easy to store. 🧵

I still have a ways to go, but I really enjoyed my weekend working on this. I spent over 15 hours cutting out the fabric pieces while watching Gilmore Girls, Friendship, and listening to Christine Brown Woolley’s new audiobook. ✂️

September’s pattern is live! I named this one Gumdrop Garden. :)

For those of you who don’t know, I have a pattern subscription club! I release an in-depth beginner embroidery pattern every month. It’s only $7! If you have any questions about it, let me know!

I’m spending the rest of my evening working on some felt crafts. Tomorrow I will get back to editing the video tutorial for the hamburger needle book. :)

Thank you for being here! 💖

Had to hit pause on the hamburger needle-book pattern so I could finish up September’s pattern for my subscription club!

I’ll have the hamburger pattern either this weekend or early next week. Do y’all have any name ideas for it??

I can’t believe September is only 4 days away. I’m so excited for y’all to see the pattern! My subscribers have been requesting more florals…so that’s all I’ll say about it. :) Here’s the color palette though!

Making progress on my burger needle-book pattern! 🍔🪡 It’ll come with a YouTube tutorial too. :)

I’m actually making two versions! One in realtime for those who like to stitch along, and a shorter one for anyone who prefers quick tutorials. That way, there’s something for everyone! 🫶

🌟 New video is up! 🌟 This one isn’t embroidery-related, it’s more of a “spend the day with me” vlog as I go thrifting at 4 different stores and share my thrift haul at the end. 🛍️✨

If you love thrifting or just want to hang out for the day, come watch! 💕

Have you watched my pattern process video yet? If so, what did you think? Should I make one for September’s pattern?

I just dropped a new video where I take you behind the scenes of creating August’s pattern! From the first sketch all the way to the final stitches. 🪡✨ Whether you’re curious about the process or just love watching creative magic happen, this one’s for you!

Editing the progress video I made of my creating this pattern from paper to thread. :) I’ll have it ready for you all in the next few days! Until then, say hello to Augusts pattern from my subscription club!

For August, I wanted to create something soft and sweet. A gentle, melancholy goodbye to summer.

When I think of summer, I always think of The Notebook. (Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen it!) Remember the opening scene where Noah hangs off the Ferris wheel and threatens to let go unless Allie agrees to go out with him? In 2025, it’s… well, let’s just say toxic as heck. But when I first saw it 15 years ago, I thought it was romantic. Don’t worry, I’m cringing with you. :)

The whole movie is a whirlwind of emotions, and the ending is soft, beautiful, and a little sad. Which is kind of how I feel about the ending of summer.

That’s the feeling I wanted in this hoop: pastel, dreamy, and bittersweet. Here’s to one last ride on the summer Ferris wheel before the seasons change. 🌻🎡
