A Space to Slow Down
I didn’t fall in love with cross-stitching right away.
I first tried it years ago when I was younger by picking up a pattern, full of excitement…only to feel frustrated not long after. It was probably too complicated, not beginner-friendly, and instead of relaxing, it felt overwhelming. So I gave up and moved on, thinking maybe cross-stitch just wasn’t for me.
Fast forward to now, after years of working a full-time job in front of a screen, I found myself craving something different. Something slower, more tangible, something that didn’t involve notifications or endless scrolling. I started exploring analogue hobbies, just to see what would stick.
That’s when I gave cross-stitch another chance and this time, everything felt different.
Why I Made Autmly
I started Autmly because I want more people to discover the joy of cross stitch.
The world can be a messy and overwhelming place and I aim to help people fall in love with a slow and meaningful craft. By creating tutorials, tips and making beginner friendly patterns, I aim to help beginners start on their journey, without feeling pressured.
Alongside the patterns, my blog is where I share everything I wish I had known when I first started - tips, beginner guides, and inspiration to help you enjoy the process from the very beginning.
