She began experimenting with different types or materials until she found her passion for working with wood and paper.

Embroidering with unconventional materials and learning to build custom panels allowed Sara to develop both her creative and technical skills. Sara has established her niche of combining woodworking technology with traditional, hand-crafted embroidery. She later founded her own business, Flourishing Fibers, where she sells kits, equipment, and her pieces, and she also shares her work with over 15K followers on Instagram.
