Halloween Embroidery for the Millennial Maker
Who says you can’t stitch and spook at the same time? Witch, please.
This is absolutely the best hand-crafted thing you’ll see today.
Expecto patronum is right! Halloween is nigh (our secret favourite holiday, we’ve always said), and fab ideas for party costumes, ghoulish decor, and movie creepfests abound. From the whimsical to the macabre, the familiar to the profane, plus the occasional unicorn, will the strangest time of the year leave nothing sacred?
Scary things pervade even our own social feed, where we find the #crossstitchersofinstagram trying to outdo each other, hand-stitching craft after hair-raising craft. And it’s BEAUTIFUL.
See, projects like these, apparently hot among Millennial makers, are how cross-stitching came to be known as the most subversive of crafts. Not that we’re complaining! In fact, even if you’re not superstitious (maybe just a little stitious?), the power of Bitchcraft compels you to make time, so you can join Kate and Katie for an afternoon of stitchin’ and witchin’ this November!
We started Bitchcraft as two busy gals who found it hard to make time for ourselves and be zen. Dabbling as a kid, but sitting in Katie’s lounge room as adults drinking wine? I was hooked.
“It was a thing. It was our thing and we wanted to share it with others, “ Kate explains. “We’ve run a few classes now and there is so much feedback about how fun and easy it is to pick up (because we share ALL our experience and tips) and we are getting sent lots of DMs of finished projects and new ones that our little bitchcrafters have taken on, with their new-found skills!”
Well, that’s usually how it starts, isn’t it, once the spirit decides to move you. Care to join this growing coven of cross-stitchers? Here are the deets:
