Embroidery is for everyone!

Embroidery is such an inclusive art form—it creates space for anyone who wants to be near it, and it can tell any story that is important to you. Each stitch tells a story. Every single pull of thread is crucial to clearly see the full picture. Handmade things matter. Creating matters. This is a space for all levels of experience and ability.

Hey! I’m Virginia & I’m an embroiderer from Atlanta, GA!

I am a Swiftie, a crafter, a reader of fantasy and romance, a dog mom, and an iced dirty chai drinker.

I also come from a long lineage of artists and people who work with their hands–wood carvers, rug hookers, painters, photographers, builders, story tellers, and seamstresses. 

When I started taking embroidery seriously, I remember my grandfather telling me “you’ve found a craft for life.”

V. Hand Stitching began in 2022 while I worked my first job out of college and realized that I needed a way to be creative and connect with my community, having just moved back to Georgia. V. began with me hand embroidering tote bags–a love letter to my years working towards an art degree in New York City–and selling them at local handmade markets. 

After a few of my Taylor Swift Jacket creation videos took off, I found a special place on the internet for people who love to love things and love to make things. Swifties who love to embroider. Readers who love to make. People who just want to connect and be creative together. 

I hope you’ll join us.

  • “You made the process so easy to follow! I had never embroidered before and I’m not sure why I thought it would be good to start with this as my first project, but it turned out amazing! The suggested colors and stitches were super helpful, and the pack itself was perfect. The sizing, quality of the paper/print, it included everything I needed to create my Eras jacket! Thank you so much!”
