In this video, I’m diving into creating a more cinematic dimension for Flosstube and share insights of my journey: how I became a cross stitch designer from nothing 15 years ago using only a bedlinen from Tesco (crazy, right?:-) up to opening my new designer page on Patreon and what it really means to stay creative in a world that rushes past.
I share the mindset that have helped me start and find my artistic voice, and create a business in a society that doesn’t always value the slow, pieceful magic of cross stitching and embroidery arts.

✨ Topics covered:

Why I would like to learn cinematic-styled vlogging
How I have started designing cross stitch out of thin air
How I chose the first patterns for the opening Patreon page
Why not to romanticise the designing process  - the real work is often hidden 
What new patterns I had in June 2025
