Design Philosophy
At FreshStitches, we design stuffed animals meant for cuddling! Whether you're a crocheting newbie or an old pro, you're sure to find an animal at your skill level to fall in love with!
Our animals are:
- usually 8" tall or bigger
- child-friendly
- destined to become heirlooms!
You'll never catch us:
- instructing you to put wires inside of an animal
- gluing pieces of felt onto our animals (which can easily come off)
- making teeny-tiny animals too small for children
In addition to making the snuggliest and cutest animals around, we also strive to make our patterns as user-friendly as possible. Each pattern contains progress photos (so you can see what your animal should look like as you're crocheting), and we are always adding more resources to our website. And, if all of our great videos and blog posts don't answer your question, you can always send us an email for help!
About Stacey
Stacey started FreshStitches in 2008, frankly, because she's always loved stuffed animals... and making them seemed like a fantastic excuse to spend all day surrounded by their cuteness.
Since she's been crocheting for more than 2 decades (egads!), crochet seemed like a natural medium to make her cuddly creations come to life. So, she started designing crocheted animals, and she's never looked back!
With respect to yarn-life, Stacey is a crocheter, knitter, blogger, yarn store employee, teacher and author.
In the non-yarn-related times of her day, she is a runner, yoga enthusiast, hard-core minimalist and urban homesteader.
Stacey loves hearing from her customers... so feel free to contact her! She's available on almost every medium known to modern technology- so pick your favorite!
