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).
