About the Person Behind “The Stitch Therapy”
Sumathi
Hi there, wonderful people!
I'm Sumathi from Mumbai, India. My love for arts and crafts began when I was just 10 years old, the moment I picked up a needle and thread. Since then, I’ve explored various art forms, constantly mesmerized by their diversity and depth. Embroidery, in particular, has been my passion, and I’m still discovering its endless possibilities.
Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering different embroidery techniques and understanding the intricate art of needlework. And you know what I’ve learned? Embroidery is wonderfully forgiving—there’s no perfect stitch, no rigid rules. You can experiment, adapt, and create your own unique artistic expression. Whether it's haphazard stitches, unconventional fabrics, or unexpected thread choices, embroidery welcomes it all.
That’s what makes it an art for everyone, and I’m here to help you make it your own.
I’ve spent years studying, practicing, and refining my skills—pouring over books, testing stitches, and understanding the craft deeply. Now, I want to save you time and make your embroidery journey easy, exciting, and fun!
After working in a demanding profession for a decade, I made the bold decision to leave it behind and pursue my true calling—embroidery. Today, I juggle my time between my energetic toddler, home, and work. It’s still a challenge, but the difference is—I absolutely love every minute of it. The grind, the struggle, and the hard work fuel my passion every day.
If you’re looking to explore embroidery—whether as a hobby, a profession, or just to see if it’s for you—I’m here to guide you. I’ll teach you the tips and tricks, help you create stunning pieces, and even show you how to transform your clothes into designer-worthy masterpieces.
So stay tuned—the party has just begun!
