None of that is a personal failing. Most hobbies were just never built for a Tuesday night.
Three years ago, my evenings had quietly turned into scrolling. I'd sit down after dinner meaning to pick up a needle again, and forty minutes later I'd just... scrolled. Not even enjoying it. Just scrolling.
I grew up embroidering fabric with my mother, but my hands aren't as steady as they used to be, and hoops and fine linen got fussy. So one evening I pricked a little pattern into a piece of cardstock instead, just to see. Turns out paper holds a point exactly where you put it — no hoop, no slipping fabric. Just a pin, a bit of floss, and something finished before the news came on.
I made a few for my granddaughter's teachers that Christmas. Then a neighbor asked for one. Then her sister. People kept asking where I'd bought them, and I had to admit — I'd drawn them myself at the kitchen table with a compass and an old cookie cutter.
So I sat down and drew out my favorites — the simple ones I'd hand a first-timer, and the ones that took me years of quiet weekends — and my grandson helped me turn my notebooks into something you could actually print. One hundred and fifty patterns, start to finish. The ones I keep coming back to myself.
This collection is those patterns, exactly as I stitch them. I hope they hand you back a few of your evenings too.
— MabelEverything fits in a pencil case: cardstock, embroidery floss, a needle, a pin.
No screen, no scrolling — just a repeating motion and a pattern that tells you exactly where to go next.
150 patterns across 3 levels, so you're never stuck too easy or in over your head.
Frame it, gift it, or sell it. A finished piece is a finished piece.
No goal but the next stitch. Print a Beginner pattern, put the phone in another room, and let twenty minutes just be twenty minutes.
A framed piece for a new house. A stitched card for a birthday. A little something that took an evening, not an errand.
Finished bookmarks, cards, and small framed pieces show up often at craft fairs and on Etsy. However far you take it, the patterns are yours to make and sell.
Print any pattern on cardstock, letter size, at 100% scale.
Punch a hole through every marked point, thread your needle, and stitch hole to hole starting at START.
Knot off, trim, and frame it, mount it as a card, or turn it into a bookmark, ornament, or gift tag.
Every pattern lists its point count and stitch type up front, so you always know what you're starting before you print it.
Heart, Leaf, Teardrop, and 35 more well-loved shapes — the patterns most stitchers reach for first. A finished Heart bookmark tends to sell for $8–12 on Etsy.
Wildflower, Daisy, Tulip, Lotus, and 16 more blooms. Framed florals are the most-gifted pieces in the collection — and often the first to sell, at $18–30.
Acorn, Pinecone, Toadstool Cap, and 21 more small motifs from the forest floor. Sized perfectly for gift tags and ornaments, typically $6–14 each.
Sun, Snowflake, Crescent Moon, and 25 more seasonal favorites. These move fastest as cards and ornaments around the holidays, around $10–20.
Butterfly Wing, Feather, and 6 more delicate, detailed pieces that read beautifully framed. Small framed pieces run $15–25.
Starburst, Mandala Bloom, Spiral, and 29 more of the most intricate designs here — and the ones that tend to command the highest prices, $25–40 framed.
Printable gift tags and mini note cards sized to pair with your finished pieces, so a stitched bookmark or ornament arrives looking finished, not rushed.
$17 valueThe short version of what to charge, how to photograph a finished piece in ten minutes, and what to write in a listing so it doesn't sound like everyone else's.
$19 valueHow to mount, frame, and store finished pieces so they hold up — plus what to do if a stitch pulls too tight or a hole tears.
