With Embellished Elephant, my mission is to support you on your crafting journey, whatever your level of skill, to create something beautiful and individual.

The craft kits I design are a little different, you are provided with stitch guides and suggestions on how to approach your piece. You are encouraged to take the materials provided and work intuitively with your hands and your heart to create a piece that feels unique to you.

You can unleash your creative capacity and experiment - I’m here to support you along the way.

Ready to explore further?

  • Browse my shop for a range of modern craft kits - all the kits are based on surface embellishment techniques such as embroidery, appliqué or beadwork

  • Want stitch tutorials, embroidery tips and inspiration? Head to my blog.

  • Sign up to receive a free embroidery pattern each month.

Happy creating!

Sarah
