The Happy Stitch Project
Welcome to The Happy Stitch Project! Learn over 52 hand embroidery stitches with my free tutorial videos.
This project originally ran in 2021, when I learnt a new hand embroidery stitch every week for the whole year. Each week the stitches we're shared on YouTube and Instagram, and I've put everything together here in one place for you to refer to.
You'll find links to the stitch tutorials below, and links to the projects that were part of this series can be found here.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment on the posts, contact me via socials or through my contact page.
