✨⭐️ New in shop: Happy Birthday Banner ✨⭐️After the love you guys had for the Merry Christmas & Valentines Garlands, there was a lot of questions and inquirys about a happy birthday version! I drafted this design while on a roadtrip at the start of the year, and I’m so proud of how it came out with all the cutie bday motifs and rainbow colour palette 👌🏻The pattern is now in the shop & this pack actually also includes bonus letters 1-9 for adding in between the happy and birthday if you’d like to customize it 💐I’ll have it linked in my IG stories for easy access, or you can search ByAlyPloof birthday banner on Etsy ✨#birthdaypartydecor #happybirthday #handmadeparty #embroiderypattern #birthdaypartyideas by @byalyploof

🌷 My Artist Origin Story ☀️ I’ve loved reading these lately as I feel like it gives a better back story to who people are & how they got to where they are currently + if you’re like me, you love some character building lol 🫶🏻I remember a few years ago when I was starting out, I always wondered how people achieved their successes and built their brands, so I thought it’d be fun to share a little bit about my work experience durring the last 6 years and how I got to be where I’m at currently 🌿It’s been a rollercoaster for sure, and I’ve been incredibly lucky to have the support of my family & friends along the way + plus you lovely humans of course! I’m still a work in progress and figuring out where I’ll go from here, but it’s been helpful to reflect on the past and all the lessons I’ve learned & to remember those lessons when moving forward 👌🏻Ps. Please excuse any typos, they are my biggest creative kryptonite 🙈 by @byalyploof

Do you guys remember this sweet little wheelbarrow full of flowers from last spring? 🌸 I pulled it out the other day as I was doing some hoop prep for the next collection and forgot how much I loved this design! It’s still up in the shop for all you fellow green thumbs to stitch up & would make a really sweet gift for the garden lovers on your life too 🪴#gardenart #gardenlover #embroiderypattern #summercrafts #springgarden by @byalyploof

Here comes the “Sweet Sunflowers” embroidery pattern ☀️☀️☀️ This embroidery pattern is admittedly pretty simple, but also very beginner friendly & easily customizable with all sort of colours ⭐️✨ I know a lot of my patterns seem very complex and time consuming, so I hope this is a nice little change! It would look super cute on a baseball cap or a tshirt pocket too 🫶🏻What do you guys think? Do you like simpler style patterns like this? I’d love to hear feedback ☀️#sunshine #embroiderypattern #beginnerembroidery #summeractivities #sunnydaysahead by @byalyploof

🍒 The Process of creating a Cherry Embroidery Pattern🍒I shared a series of videos on the pattern making process last year and wanted to bring them back again in a more bite sized video for anybody looking to get into creating patterns! It’s a process I’ve fine tuned over the years, but one that I thoroughly enjoy the process of from start to finish 👌🏻 I use @procreate for all my digital process on my IPad, @lightroom for editing & @picmonkey for writing the pdf patterns ♥️I think it’s really important to show the human made creation process and to keep highlighting how real creative effort still very much matters in the arts & design industry 👏🏻✨ #patterndesigner #patterndesignersclub #artistsofinstagram #modernembroidery #canadiansmallbusiness by @byalyploof

This felt like very fitting audio 🎶 This “Blooming Banana” pattern was a fun one to pull all the perfect, buttery, golden, banana-y yellow shades for! 💛If you or somebody you know is a fellow Banana lover and would love to make / receive this embrodiery artwork, the pattern is up in my shop for it (linked in my bio) 🍌✨It would make an excellent addition to a butter (or banana) yellow sweatshirt, a jean jacket of a grocery tote bag (or just on the wall as a fruit art feature) 👌🏻#banana #thisshitisbananas #embroiderypattern #summercrafts #feelingcrafty by @byalyploof

Looking for some sweet bday decor? This birthday banner that I stitched up in February features a bunch of colourful bday motifs that make the banner really pop on the wall! 🎈Working on one letter a day can be a really good use of screen free time & by the end you’ll have a handmade heirloom esk birthday banner to use over and over again 👌🏻You can find the banner on my Etsy shop (linked in my bio) & I’ll pop a link in my IG stories too! ⭐️#birthdaybanner #birthdaydecoration #birthdaydecor #embroiderypattern #partyplanning by @byalyploof

Afternoon lovelies! Today I’m sharing this new “Cornflower Cow” embroidery pattern 🐄 @megembroiders said it best when she described it as strawberry milk coded with all the pastel tones woven into the body 🍓This cow is part of a new farm themed collection of patterns in the shop, but was actually inspired by a Swiss cow I shot a snap of last summer 🤗If you’d like to stitch up this sweet colourful cow this summer, you can find him in my Etsy shop and I’ll throw a link up in my IG stories too 🫶🏻🐄#summercraft #cowart #cowlove #embroiderypattern #beginnerembroidery by @byalyploof
