After the Sip & Stitch event, Kathleen kept hearing the same question: "How can I make more personalized embroidered gifts?" This episode is the answer. She's introducing new Canva templates designed to take the guesswork out of creating custom embroidered pieces — with seven embroidery-friendly fonts, sizing guides for different apparel sizes (newborn through 4T+), and six adorable embellishments.

But this episode is about more than templates. It's about how learning one skill — hand embroidery — becomes an endless source of meaningful, personalized gifts that people actually treasure. Perfect timing for holiday planning!

You'll hear about:

• Why designing your own embroidery can feel overwhelming (and how to fix it)
• What's included in the new Canva templates and how to use them
• The deeper meaning behind handmade, personalized gifts
• Step-by-step process for creating embroidered gifts with confidence
• A free sweater embroidery tutorial to get you started
• Gift ideas for every occasion (babies, kids, teachers, friends, and yourself!)

Takeaway: Once you learn embroidery, you unlock an endless source of meaningful gifts. With the right tools to simplify the design process, you can create personalized keepsakes that people will treasure for years to come.
