About Anita's Little Stitches
A boutique needlework shop built on a lifelong love of stitching — and a commitment to getting your order to you fast.
Our Story
Welcome to Little Stitches! I, Anita, have been an avid stitcher since 1987. For over 30 years, my passion in stitching has been small designs. This has led to the start of my company, Little Stitches.
Little Stitches are small designs that incorporate beads, charms, ribbons, and various finishing techniques. The charts are available as downloadable PDFs. I use Pattern Maker software to chart all my designs. My first series of designs were strawberry emeries and other small coordinating accessories. Accessory packs containing ribbon, beads, and specialty threads are also available for purchase. I have spent a lot of time selecting the best combination of beads, ribbon, and threads to match my designs and keep them at a very reasonable price. I have received many compliments on the accessory packs.
I carry fabric for all my designs. If you need help ordering fabric or any accessory, please feel free to email me and I am happy to assist you. I have also included detailed, color-pictured step-by-step tutorials for most of my designs in PDF format.
