The next set of tutorials is finished. This time it's from a variety of stitch families to mix things up a bit. There are 2 evergreens in it - the satin stitch and the french knot. Then 2 twists on classic stitches - the twisted chain stitch and the looped running stitch. Aaaaand a special stitch - la mouche. La mouche means the fly in french and I could not find an english name for it yet, but it's such a cute name for a cute stitch, that I'll leave it at this for now.

Today I have something very special talk about. During the last months my focus changed from designing patterns to making more embroidery tutorials. I believe in the power of knowledge being accessible for everyone. However, I, too have to pay bills and making free tutorials sadly is not going to do that. The working hours I have are reserved for making new designs and organzing my pattern business. I would love to dedicate much more time to the teaching aspect of embroidery, but this is only possible if I get payed for my tutorials. There is the cat biting it's tail.

Luckily there is a simple solution for this: Patreon.
Patreon is a platform similiar to Kickstarter where you can support your artist of choice......

Pumora get's a makeover, but not only that. There are many things changing in my life - more on the inside than outside. Things that were crystal clear are shaking and I'm looking under every stone what's hidden there.
It began in february when I filmed a beginner course in embroidery with and for Makerist. I suddenly realized how much I miss working with people and how much I actually know. This may sound weird, but even after writing a book and filming a class in embroidery I still have had the feeling I don't know enough to be a professional. In my personal world somebody has to know everything before he's allowed to teach it. But who meets this high standard? Furthermore are the mistakes we make on our learning experience not as important and shareworthy as the achievements?
In our beautiful digital......
