When things are a little quieter on the sales front, I try to use the time to experiment rather than endlessly refreshing the order notifications (although I still do!) 😅

One thing I really enjoy is going back through embroidery designs I've created for previous projects and seeing how they could work in a completely different way.

This tiger was originally created for a jacket that I made for myself, so I decided to restitch it and turn it into a banner — paired with Wild & Free. I love seeing how much the same embroidery can change depending on the fabric, colours and finished product it's used on.

It also means quieter days still feel creative and productive, which is always a win!

For those of you who embroider for work or just for fun — what's your favourite thing to stitch when you're completely off the clock and can make whatever you want?
