Stitching Solace

London Knitting & Stitching Show

Beginnings

Stitching calm is something I have learned over the years, and sharing it with you is such a gift.  My creative stitching journey started young, from age 3 with Indonesian crochet.  Through the years, in my most challenging moments I have used it as a stress reliever – the rhythmic flow of simple stitching – allows the whirring mind to rest and focus on creating with my hands.  I don’t understand the science – but it works for me.  My greatest challenge in life has been caring for and then grieving the loss of my little brother, to cancer.  Feeling helpless while watching a loved one suffer has been way tougher to deal with than anything else in life.

Joy through grief

Holding on to joy I found to be a huge part in navigating grief,  a deep inner foundation.  Creating my own moments of relief.  Simple rhythmic stitching helps me to bring a moment of calm, even in the storm.  

Calming

Creative calm has been such an integral part of my life.  I want to make it easy for others to achieve this.  So I designed kits and courses to help others, to create their own moment of calm, along with other supports – talking, sharing, walking, writing, and so much more – to ease anxiety and stress.  Rhythmic soothing stitching, whenever you need it.

Simplicity

Designed to be just as beautiful with a little imperfect wonky stitch. Shaking off perfectionist comparison and embracing creating with love, wherever you are on your stitching journey.
