First Crochet piece and character with a backstory.
“Stitch Up The Tree is about a character that I created called Stitch Up Tom, who is a genderless character that has climbed up a tree with their umbrella as they look and wait for their loved one to come back or to be found. As Stitch Up Tom's lover has the tendency to get lost and break up into pieces. That Stitch Up Tom has to go find them and stitch them back up again.”
