Welcome to FanStitches!
I’ve been cross-stitching since I was a little girl, thanks to my mom who first put a needle in my hand. What started as a hobby grew into a way to make gifts for friends—one of my earliest projects was a Harry Potter spells sampler I charted myself. When I realized others might enjoy stitching the same projects, Etsy felt like the perfect place to share them.
Not long after, my love of hockey took over. I wanted to stitch jerseys of my favorite players, but I couldn’t find any patterns. So I sat down and created my own. One design turned into a few favorites, and a few favorites quickly turned into more and more. That’s how FanStitches was born.
The name says it all—I’m a fangirl at heart, and I create patterns inspired by the things I love. Designing is my favorite part of the process, but what makes it even better is seeing the finished work in my customers’ hands. I always ask for pictures, and it never stops being a thrill to see a pattern I dreamed up brought to life in stitches.
