My name is Hattie and I'm the founder of Stranded Stories Embroidery, which I set up in 2022. When I was an embroidery beginner, it was really hard to find designs that spoke to me- colourful, intricate and modern designs that were inspired by mythology, folklore, fantasy, art and books.

Plus, I'd also seen these really cool embroidery portrait pieces with amazing 3D effect hair- but I couldn't seem to find any kits to teach me… So, I designed them myself!  

Stranded Stories has allowed me to bring my love of embroidery, multimedia art, and magical stories together.
