Needle and Stem

Hello, I'm Heather and I just thought I’d tell you where @needleandstem well... stemmed from! I am an actor, and had just finished filming a short film before the world came to a halt. During the beginning of the Corona Virus pandemic, I wanted to have a break from scrolling through my phone and netflix, so I picked up a DIY embroidery kit. Well, I fell in love with it! This mindful activity has helped me a lot this past year and I decided to take the plunge and share this with others. I combined my love for house plants, succulents, self empowerment and funny quotes to create my side hustle, Needle & Stem. We sell embroidery kits that are modern and fun, with everything you need to create our designs yourself included in the kit, there is no reason to rush to the shops for your next project! Our kits are perfect for beginners all the way to avid sewers! We have a ranking system for each design; level one is suitable for beginners and new crafters, up to level three for more advanced or for those wanting a longer project.

Making any design possible to learn for everyone!
