There were some technical difficulties when filming this stitch- but nonetheless it’s one worth sharing! I love this variant of the Byzantine Stitch. Adding a single stitch in between the larger zigzag not only looks cool, but I feel makes the stitch so much easier 😊 comment below what stitch you would like next! 🪡

I just got back from vacation and I have to say it was really relaxing! I spent the perfect day stitching, thrifting, going to an art gallery, and finally eating a big lobster cookout with my family! I always love finding stitched antiques out in the wild. It is so amazing how many beautiful projects humans have made over the years 🪡

Happy finishing Friday! 🪡 Today I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to finish a purse or pouch! If it’s leather, fabric, or already made there are so many ways to turn your projects into a wearable piece of art 🤍 and just wait for the end, my favorite purse that we have ever finished came back to the shop. She is a beauty! ❤️

Our tutorials are back! Today I am going to teach you how to do the soufflé stitch 🪡 this stitch is great for large areas, so think background. It also lends itself to some fun interpretations. You can do it all in one fiber or make a it two toned with sparkle, velvet, or even wool! Comment all questions you have below, and let me know what stitch you would like next 😊

Welcome to The Forest Needle! 🪡 I wanted to come on here and reintroduce myself. I’m Ellie, and I inherited the store from my mom in 2025. Since taking over we launched a website and I had a little girl, Cici. Together (me more than her) we run the shop with help from my amazing team! So if you are local to the north shore we would love to see you in shop. We are open Tuesday - Friday 11-5 and Saturdays 11-3 and always open online 🤍🪡
