Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a Chicago-based artist with a big love for fabrics, vintage style, and all things handmade. I fell in love with chainstitch embroidery in 2017, and in 2021 I started Mister Baby as a way to bring this beautiful, vintage craft to life.
Since launching my business, my work has grown to include live embroidery activations at events and retail shops all across Chicago and the Midwest, as well as custom one-of-a-kind pieces for all occasions and people.
I truly enjoy the personal connection that comes with this craft. Whether it’s creating a keepsake right in front of your eyes or collaborating on a personal heirloom that will be treasured for years. Every stitch feels like I'm carrying on a century-old tradition, and I’m honored knowing the pieces I make today can become part of someone’s story for generations to come.
