Junebug and Darlin

Junebug and Darlin specializes in making modern cross stitch kits. I use cross stitching as an avenue to subvert the norms of a traditional medium and empower new makers to take the needle into their own hands.

Putting this kit together for someone very special as the result of listening to the @callyrgf episode about #shinetheory - so grateful for the Portland maker community 💖

I’m a total ‘monogaprog’ kind of maker. So, now that I’ve finished stitching my last design, I’m onto this custom kit for @strandbookstore

#boldandfresh PDFs are now available for instant download. Kits are coming soon!

Spent my weekend in a sewing flurry between workshops for @designweekpdx and I’m feeling super energized and ready to unlock AND manage my creativity.
I’m reminded in these moments of growth, that social media will always create a disconnect between me and my business. As I build up @junebuganddarlin , instagram can become less personal, but I’m here to remind you it’s all just me. And sometimes with help from friends. I’m grateful to all my new followers out there (thanks @gummywormbelly for your queer maker series this weekend), and with a new influx I like to reintroduce myself.
So this is me in my new #zadiejumpsuit ie. my queer femme power outfit. 📷: @boltfabricpdx

That just happened.

Forgive me, I just realized there‘s a year of Facebook comments on my Junebug and Darlin page I never responded to. So here’s a flower while I take care of that. #cityofroses #idontusefacebook

#hoopbutt - finished stitching this last night, but I’ll wait a few days to wash and back it to make sure it’s really done. Slow and steady with this one cause #chillvibesonly

My next workshop is 4/28 at @assemblypdx and I’m teaching this new kit! Maybe by then the sun will be back and it’ll feel like spring appropriate stitching 🧵 🌸 ✂️

@craftywonderland is coming up in less than a month!
The spring fair is such a great event - all the same wonderful vendors as the winter market without all of the holiday madness.
