Welcome to the Shazie in Stitches website/blog,  I was The Commission Stitcher, I no longer commission stitch for the magazine but I am available.

At Shazie in Stitches, you will see updates on my stitching progress, old photo’s of my commission stitching and anything else I might feel is useful for other stitchers.

I also have a shop for my Printable Cross Stitch PDF Journals. Please take a moment to have a browse.


About Me

My name is Shazie,

I live near Manchester in the UK.

I have been cross stitching for 30 years. I used to model stitch for the UK Cross Stitch Magazines from 2012 to 2020.

I have several hobbies in my life, cross stitching being one of them but I now have another hobby (since 2022) which is making miniature food and other miniature pieces out of polymer clay.

I adore cats, my family are my furbabies. I love them to bits and they keep me going through the ups and downs of life.

I am also a flosstuber on YouTube.
