Relax And Have Fun Developing Your Skills And Confidence With Modern Hand Embroidery
Wish you were better at embroidery?
Modern hand embroidery is a feel-good activity that brings both relaxation and creative fulfilment (especially when you have the tools and confidence to explore your artistic potential with this amazing art form!)
Good news is
You are only 2 clicks away from fun and enriching learning with instant access to a growing library of embroidery courses and workshops
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you?
✍️ You feel unsatisfied creating the same type of patterns over and over – you need to freshen up your repertoire! ✍️
💡 You have great ideas for embroidery projects, but you don’t know how to realise them? 💡
🧵 You have loads of materials that you don’t even remember why you bought… You need inspiration and guidance on how to use what you already have! 🧵
🧐 You are tired of mediocre uninspiring tutorials and long for an informative and straight to the point experience where you get to follow along EVERY STEP OF THE WAY in detail 🧐
🎨 You are turned off by impersonal mass-produced courses that exploits the creator – you want to learn authentically directly from the artist without scripted content from a third-party source… 🎨
⏰ You have spent countless hours looking for relevant information only to be left feeling more confused and frustrated ⏰

Do you find it hard to invest in your art, because "it's not important enough" or perhaps you think "I can just figure it out myself"?
Truth is we all do embroidery because it makes us feel good.
Whether it has a relaxing purpose or serves to make us feel more creatively stimulated and fulfilled, the foundation of it being a feel-good-activity remains the same.
And what happens with most feel-good activities?
They get set aside.
Why?
Because in our everyday lives, to prioritise ourselves and our own well-being IS DIFFICULT!
Especially if you have a full-time job and maybe a family and home to take care of.
We get it!
Because we are in the same boat.
For example, when we first became parents, we both put aside everything for the sake of the family(which is completely normal!)
But you quickly start to feel really down if you don’t get a minute to create something that simply just makes you feel great!
We noticed that when we began to prioritise an hour a week (doesn’t need to be endless amounts of time) to something that makes us feel good – it made us happier and able to show up with more energy for the rest of the time (be it for family, work or anything)
Now you may think that sounds easy to say but how to actually make it reality?
For us the answer was: To invest in yourself!
When you sign up for a course, you mentally tell yourself that the course is something important and worthy of being prioritised – because you want to get the value for your money!
By joining the Membership you are signalling to both yourself and your surrounding that your art and creativity IS IMPORTANT and deserves to be taken seriously

“I have been embroidering for many years, most of my projects have been iron-on or pre-stamped. I ran across one of their YouTube videos and was hooked. Watching the videos (and emailing Elin) gave me the encouragement to try something new. Since then, I have enrolled in 3 of their classes. The classes are easy to follow and encouraging. You can definitely see their love for the craft. Thank you for all the effort the two of you have put into them. I look forward to see what you have in the future.”
