behind the embroidery
 There's a Story Behind Every Stitch: Founded in 2018, Embroidery and Sage creates full embroidery kits, digital patterns, and stitching accessories for today's modern stitcher. Based in ☀️ Los Angeles, we’re passionate about quality, great design, and connecting with the global (aaah-mazing) maker community. Our mission with every stitch, is to experience and share what generations of embroiderers have long known - how deeply rewarding it is to create art with your own hands. |
 Meet the Maker: Hello👋! My name is Alexis, and I am the designer and creator behind E+S. My journey began with my mom (an amazing quilter) teaching me to sew at a young age and instilling me with a love for art and design. I later studied visual arts in college, traveled, volunteered with the Peace Corps in Senegal, West Africa, and then continued on to a program for fashion design at Parsons, The New School for Design. During my time at Parsons, I took up the art of embroidery and quickly became enthralled and fascinated by the array of embroidery stitches and the textures they can create. Each embroidery design starts with an illustration of mine, inspired by travel, architecture, art, and nature. I use mood boards to create a color palette for each collection and then carefully choose threads and stitches to bring each design to life. Each kit includes easy-to-follow instructions and everything needed to complete a project from start to finish for the experienced and novice alike. I am proud to share these designs, and hope that you will appreciate the time, love, and dedication put forth in their creation. |
