A WARM WELCOME
Hello, I'm Grace.
I trained in hand embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, and now I stitch, write, and spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about where cloth comes from. Pin Tucked is where the tutorials meet the history, for people who want to know the why as much as the how.
