Hi - I’m Lauren

the maker, designer, creator (and everything else!) behind Teal & Twine.

During lockdown, while everyone else was running 5ks and baking banana bread, I decided to pick up a needle and thread. With everyone staying indoors, I started stitching little gifts for friends and family — thoughtful pieces to brighten their day and let them know I was thinking of them.

What began as a way to pass the time quickly became something more: every design I create has its roots in those first gifts for the people I love. Over time, those stitches grew into embroidery kits, digital patterns, handmade keepsakes, and workshops — each one designed to make creativity simple, joyful, and meaningful.
