Do you ever dabble in stitchcraft? ✨Michelle Mabuyo (she/her) was a newbie in the art of embroidery when she got hooked on floss--and now she's running her own Etsy store, stocked with magical hand-stitched items to get you started on your very own textile adventure. Michelle's stitching is cute, colourful, and full of references to pop culture, romance and nerd/programming culture complemented by floral patterns and watercolour painting on cloth. As a programmer and educator, Michelle talks about the engineering solutions-approach to her stitching business, the freedom of exploring what she enjoys creating, and balancing the entrepreneurial and creative mindset. Find Michelle's kits and beautifully completed hoops on Etsy at Magical Stitchcraft and follow her on Instagram @magical.stitchcraft to watch her projects come together.
