There’s something special about sitting down with my needle and threads and placing a hot cup of coffee beside me. It has a powerful effect on me. Perhaps it is the multi-sensory experience of the heady aroma of the coffee blending with the tactile act of embroidery.
Maybe I’m romanticising the link a little, but I’ve found that coffee can elevate my embroidery experience to new heights. With or without my hoop in my hands, though, I do love a pot of my favourite coffee.
Maybe you’re a coffee lover like me, or perhaps your brew of choice is something else. Whatever you drink, you’re welcome here, and I invite you to join me while I explore how I celebrate my love of coffee in my embroidery.
My Brew-tiful Obsession
Coffee is way more than a beverage for me. It’s a ritual, a joy, something that perks me up even on the bleakest of days. Like embroidery, it’s a simple pleasure that centres me amid the hurly-burly of life.
I may be a devotee of coffee but I embrace the diversity of different blends and beans. You’re just as likely to find me sipping on the mellow tones of a well-balanced medium roast as savouring the deep richness of an espresso.
From Kenya to Colombia, Costa Rica to Guatemala, I haven’t met a coffee bean I didn’t like. You can probably tell by now, my love of coffee knows no bounds. So how do I work my love of coffee into my passion for embroidery? Easy! For me, caffeine and creativity go hand in hand.
Embroidery and Coffee—a Perfect Blend
I know I’m not the only passionate coffee lover out there. You may be one, too, or know someone who is. That’s why I’ve incorporated some coffee-themed designs into my curated collection on Stitches and Threads.
Picture yourself stitching away in a cosy corner of your house, embroidery hoop in hand and a coffee cup steaming away beside you—bliss!
These kits aren’t just about creating art though. They can be a way to wind down and reconnect to the real world after the whizz of work or the happy chaos of daily life. Sitting down with your threads after a long day can fill you with the same sense of well-being as coffee or your favourite beverage does.
In Stitches and Threads Embroidery shop you’ll find a couple of kits that are perfect for coffee enthusiasts. If that’s you—treat yourself. Or perhaps you know someone who loves coffee and would benefit from learning a mindful craft—the kits make a perfect gift.
Espresso Yourself with a Stitches and Threads Kit
‘Espresso Yourself’ Kit – This kit is the perfect representation of the two things coffee-loving embroiders obsess over: coffee and creativity. Once complete, the design’s clean lines will work well anywhere in the home.
‘Rise and Shine, It’s Coffee Time’ Kit — There’s nothing better than a freshly brewed coffee to start your day. This kit uses different typography and the iconic coffee cup shape to create a delight for your walls.
Craft & Coffee Nook
Both of these designs are a fantastic way to decorate a corner of your home and claim it as your ‘sip and stitch’ zone or ‘craft and coffee’ nook. And as your embroidery comes to life, you’ll achieve the perfect blend of coffee and creativity.
