That first piece I stitched—a rainbow hoop symbolizing my miscarriage—became more than just a craft project. It was healing. What began as a way to cope soon turned into something I genuinely loved. I ended up going through IVF to have my daughter, now almost 4. I started adding embroidered details to my son’s baby clothes, transforming them into unique pieces for my daughter. People were noticing, and soon, friends and even strangers were asking where they could buy my work. That’s how Embroidery Babes was born in 2022.
Initially, the business expanded through word of mouth, followed by participation in craft fairs and custom orders on Instagram. But as demand picked up, so did the pressure. What once brought me joy started to feel overwhelming. I craved something more fulfilling—something that allowed me to connect with others more deeply. That’s when the idea of hosting embroidery workshops came to me. It was the perfect blend of my love for teaching (I was formerly a Corporate Trainer) and my passion for meaningful connection. The first event sold out, and from that moment on, I knew I was on the right path.
Today, Embroidery Babes is more than a small business—it’s a growing community. I host private events, such as Moms’ Night Outs, corporate team-building sessions, faculty gatherings, and women’s groups, as well as open workshops at local boutiques and restaurants. These events offer a space for people to connect and create. Since 2023, over 2,000 people have joined my embroidery workshops, many of whom return time and again.
