About the Creator

Hi, I'm Irem Yazici. I've been on this creative journey on hand embroidery since 2014. I'm a self taught artist based in Eskisehir, Turkiye. Since I started stitching, I've been creating portraits of pets and other animals, pieces that have become some of the most meaningful works I've made. Over the years I've refined the art of tiny stitching, and now I'm thrilled to share my approach to miniature embroidery with you. I hope to guide you toward mastering this very specific and beautiful skill of embroidery.
