Meet Sara
Hi, I'm Sara. I stitch after bedtime.
My grandmother taught me my first little X. Years later, as a mom of two, I found my way back to a hoop, and it became the quiet part of my day that's just mine.
I design patterns that fit real evenings: cozy, a little whimsical, small enough to finish, and kind to stitch. Clear symbols, tight palettes, no endless confetti.
- Clear charts. Color, black & white and a Pattern Keeper PDF.
- Kind to stitch. Tight palettes, honest difficulty labels.
- Cozy & original. My own designs, in one consistent style.
