What customers are saying

“Stitching the whole collection was such a satisfying challenge! I’m especially proud because I am virtually a beginner, but the instructions are very easy to follow... I highly recommend this zodiac set, if I can do them, anyone can!”

Hi! I’m Tamara

I’m a self-taught embroidery artist and the designer of all the patterns you’ll find here. I set up The Hoop in Hand in 2022 with one simple goal: to share the joy embroidery brings me with the world.

I’m thrilled you found me here.
