Do you look for an inspiring project that will allow you to relax and feel great?

To embroider by hand is the perfect way to de-stress and have fun.

With each stitch your worries will slowly find its way to the exit.

In fact, studies show how creating with your hands for just 20 minutes reduces blood pressure and allows your body to breathe.

Amazing isn't it?!

But to just embroider anything might not be the answer.

Because if you don't enjoy what you're stitching or think it doesn't look great, you will most likely feel discouraged and end up not continuing.


Architectural hand embroidery is the perfect match as it isn't just soothing to make, it also looks stunning!


Thanks to modern hand embroidery techniques you are able to create advanced looking stitchery with only basic stitches.

We show you how to it do all the steps of the way, so that you don't have to worry about not having any previous experience with the architectural style (or hand embroidery at all).


Beginner Friendly

Gain stitch confidence and skills with your first architectural embroidery


The course is structured as an in-depth and detailed stitch-along tutorial to give you confidence and concrete skills.

Along with the video tutorials you also get this accompanying pattern of buildings in Paris as a downloadable PDF.


At the end of the course you will not only have spent quality time stitching but you will also have skills for life and a one of a kind artwork to hang on your wall and feel proud of.

"I never thought I could like an activity like embroidery until I found Charles and Elin on Instagram. What they are doing is so amazing and so different from what I had seen before that I decided to try their ecourses and I can't tell you how glad I am. I've discovered a new hobby with the best teachers I could have asked for. The close-up videos and step by step process really made it perfect for me!"

Impeccable creativity & inspiring work, they're also good at being pedagogic in teaching you patiently and attentively. If you want to pick up a new hobby that is cool and enriching, you should definitely do their courses, and become mindful and connected with your environment and yourself!"
