About

Hello! I’m Laura, the face behind Wee Stitches.

I live in central Scotland with my little Shih Tzu, Max, who’s usually curled up somewhere nearby while I stitch.

I learned to cross stitch when I was about eight years old — my gran, Beth, taught me, and from the first few stitches I was hooked. Even through all the twists and turns of life, cross stitch has always been something I come back to. It’s where I find calm, creativity, and a little bit of magic.

I started designing my own patterns in 2020, during the lockdowns. I was working full time in social care at the time (and still do!) and stitching became my outlet — a way to cope with all the challenges the world was throwing our way.

What began as a little passion project slowly turned into something I’d dreamed of for years: sharing my designs with others. 

At Wee Stitches, you’ll find fun, vibrant, modern designs that I’ve put my heart and soul into bringing to life — always with a little bit of whimsy, and a focus on making stitching feel welcoming and easy for everyone. Whether you’re brand new to cross stitch or you’ve been stitching for decades, there’s always a seat at the table here. 

Thanks so much for stopping by — I’m so happy you’re here
