These six stitchery sessions are for the in-between days
The days when you want to stitch, but don't want another project, plan or expectation. For the days when you need companionship and play not another "how-to" tutorial. And the days when you feel slightly nervous and intimidated of where to begin at all...
✅ These sessions are here for you to break the creative block and get back into flow in a FUN and intuitive way
Empowering stitch prompts
Each session is developed as an independent art prompt, designed for you to feel empowered and encouraged to experiment and GET STITCHING. There's no right or wrong here!
In the image you can see my take on the first stitch-prompt "Rounded shapes", featuring inspiration from the kitchen. This work is later re-used for the sixth session "Mixed media alteration" to show an example of how art can evolve and grow over time (pictured below)
Start one session. Skip another.
Come back again.
❌ No homework, set deadline or anything that needs to be finished.
❤️ The sessions are here for you when you need a creative reset on your terms.
🎉 Always lifetime access 🎉
The best art is the art that gets done!
You don't need specific materials, rather source your home for what you've already got lying around
(think: scissors, any fabric, previous half-done projects, floss, needle).
The image shows my take on the stitch prompt "Be resourceful", featuring old projects and fabric scraps (e.g. the purple shell is from another prompt of "Textures" in session #2)

Your artsy guide to get into flow:
Elin Petronella began to share her work on Instagram as @petronella.art in 2016 and now boasts a artful community across Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube and Substack of 500k+
She has taught thousands of students the art of modern hand embroidery through in person workshops and the Charles and Elin Academy.
She is also the co-author of the "Mindful Embroidery" (2020) and author of Embroidery Wanderlust (2025). Her work has been featured in magazines such as Inspirations, Fubiz, My Modern Met and more...
But most importantly she's obsessed with making arts together with you!
What some past students have said about Elin's guidance..
"I have been embroidering for many years, most of my projects have been iron-on or pre-stamped. I ran across some YouTube videos and was hooked. Watching the videos (and emailing Elin) gave me the encouragement to try something new. Since then, I have enrolled in 3 of their classes. The classes are easy to follow and encouraging. You can definitely see their love for the craft. Thank you for all the effort the two of you have put into them. I look forward to see what you have in the future."
