The world of embroidery can truly be a magical place, especially if you’re exploring Erin Alyssa’s creations. She’s the mastermind behind Salt Water Stitches, and her embroidery creations will transport you to the whimsical world where fairy tales come to life.
Alyssa is a talented embroidery artist based in Van Island, Canada. She’s been sharing her creations with the world since 2020, and her Instagram account really started growing after she developed her signature whimsical style, attracting over 160,000 followers.
Alyssa’s hoops are instantly recognizable, but developing her embroidery style has been quite a journey. She finally found her footing when she started working on her “Retro Girl” series, and things fell into place from that point on.
“I’ve always loved the styles, colors, and music of the 70s & 80s. Leaning into this, I started designing more patterns based on my love of retro! Not only did I love it, but I found that so many others connected with the nostalgia that my designs bring!” she wrote on Instagram.
Alyssa’s embroidery experienced a true boom when she started working on her starry night designs. They bring the magic of the night sky to her embroidery hoops, and she’s using everything from golden threads to beads to make them even more enchanting.
