HOW KAYLA BECAME SEW FESTIVE...

IF TEN YEARS AGO YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME I'D BE WRITING COPY FOR AN EMBROIDERY SHOP, there is no way I would have believed you...

I NEVER EXPECTED TO BE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW....

Most know me for my digital creations; as a wedding photographer and designer, I know my way around programs that allow me to make wonderful things on my computer. As a crafter my entire life, I have tried every conceivable art form. Pottery. Quilling. Glassblowing. Papermaking + book binding. Even the fiber arts were in my portfolio, but I've heard from so many that they didn't dare try embroidery, for the same worries I have: Pulling too tight, dropping a stitch, and oh-so-many knots.

...BUT I AM SO HAPPY I DID...

 was only a matter of time before I found a way to combine both worlds, digital design and handcrafting. One day inspiration struck, and I found a way to make something magical in Adobe Illustrator that could be used for some one-of-a-kind embroidery kits that would allow every stitcher, from the beginner to the advanced, a chance to enjoy a new form of fiber art. 

From there, Sew Festive Embroidery Company was born.

BUT IT GOES FAR BEYOND EMBROIDERY

Everyone loves a good Q+A...here are a few things about me, Kayla Lee!

FACT #1

I love to travel! There isn't a corner of this world that I don't wish to explore. One of my favorite ways to travel is via the train. It isn't just bout the destination--half the fun is getting there!

FACT #2

I have been a creative entrepreneur my entire life. Way back when I would make and sell greeting cards and suckers, which is what started it all!

FACT #3

Fall is my favorite season! That's not just because it is also birthday season (where are my October babies at?!?), but I love the cooler weather and watching the seasons switch from summer to autumn to winter.

FACT #4

I am a dog mom to Benny. He is a spunky, loving, spirited Jack Russell Terrier (a sort-legged version). He is everything, and a huge inspiration for what I create. He is also the model for many of the instant photos feature on the samples!

FAQS ABOUT SEW FESTIVE

Yes and no. We do keep some stock ready to rock and roll (and ship), but sometimes we do have to make on demand. If it is for sale, it is in stock, and it will ship in 5-7 days!

At this point, we do not take order for custom creations. If you are interested in that service, I would recommend joining our email list at the bottom of this page. When custom order opportunities arise, the VIPs on the list are the first to shop!

Excluding tools (like scissors), each kit comes with everything you need to complete the project. This means you will receive: The wood blank, full skeins of DMC thread, needles, and felt for backing.

Not at all--in fact, some have said this is easier because the blank upon which you are stitching is solid and actually more forgiving than fabric. It is perfect for all skill levels and experience!
