Our Story
Meet the Makers
The story of Hooker and Stitch began 29 years ago, but the roots of our craft go back even further. What started as a family tradition passed down through three generations has evolved into a unique mother-daughter partnership that blends classic skill with a spooky, modern edge.
The Faces Behind the Brand
April & Karen
We are April and Karen, the duo behind the name. We officially launched our business in 2021 to bring our handmade creations to vendor events and craft shows, and we've been "hooking and stitching" together ever since.

From Tradition to the Macabre
Into the Shadows
While our skills were learned from the generations of women before us, our style is all our own. In 2024, we decided to fully embrace April's love for horror and all things spooky. Today, you'll find our booth filled with a mix of elegant handcrafted accessories and eerie, macabre-inspired collectibles.

What We Stand For
Mother & Daughter
We are a partnership of mother and daughter, bonded by thread and tradition. Together we are stronger than the sum of our stitches.
Handmade Always
No factories, no mass production. Just hands, hooks, needles, and hours of dedicated craftsmanship passed down through three generations.
3 Generations Deep
Our skills were learned from the generations of women before us. We carry that legacy forward in every piece we create.
Horror at Heart
In 2024 we fully embraced April's love for horror and all things spooky. Today our booth is filled with elegant accessories and eerie collectibles.
Built to Last
Karen ensures every bag and purse is as durable as it is beautiful. The "Stitch" that holds everything together.
Since 2021
We officially launched to bring our handmade creations to vendor events and craft shows, and we've been hooking and stitching ever since.
At Hooker and Stitch, we pride ourselves on being more than just a craft business -- we are a legacy of handmade quality, a partnership of mother and daughter, and a home for those who like their crochet with a bit of a bite.
