The reality is a mix of late nights, tangled yarn, and a lot of tedious tasks like weaving in ends. Every piece you see here is a labor of love, representing hours of hand-stitching and intentional packing, that I send out from my small setup in Mumbai. ### The Reality of Handmade I am a total yarn addict, and Stitches by Sam is basically my way of making that addiction official. When you order from me, you are not getting a mass-produced item from a factory. You are getting something that took hours, sometimes days, to make by hand. Whether it is a giant daisy tote or a tiny, chubby jellyfish keychain, I put the same amount of heart into it. ### The Granny Square Struggle People often see the finished daisy totes and think they just magically appear. If only! Making a granny square project is basically a war. You make the first one and it looks amazing, but then you realize you have to make dozens more, weave in every single end, and join them perfectly. I have even shared my budget-friendly tips for blocking these squares so they stay flat and professional, rather than turning wavy. ### Why Custom Matters My favorite part of this business is getting your wild ideas. From custom pet costumes to specific color combos for a tulip wallet, I love a challenge. It takes a lot of time and patience, and sometimes I even deal with glue gun burns, but seeing you guys love your items makes it all worth it. If you have a specific vibe in mind, just ask. ## About Stitches by Sam I'm Samiya, the yarn-obsessed human behind Stitches by Sam. Crochet is my therapy, and I spend most of my time tangled in yarn, creating coquette-style bags and plushies that I hope make you smile.
