The Mini Apple began with a love of creativity and the belief that art can have a purpose. We love making things that become part of everyday life, little pieces of creativity you can use, carry, and enjoy. But we also want what we make to serve a greater purpose, bringing joy, creating connection, and helping care for those in need. That’s the heart behind our company: making beautiful things that do a little good.

Learn. Grow. Give.
The Mini Apple is a creative lifestyle brand built around the idea of making things that matter.
Our foundation is embroidery and sewing, but our focus is not simply teaching stitches or creating traditional embroidery projects.
Instead, we want every project to offer three things:
We want people to finish one of our projects and think, "I can't believe I made that."
Made with care, close to home. Our kits come together right here in Michigan, with help from local businesses for printing and other supplies. When you shop with us, you’re supporting our small business and the local makers and businesses who help bring your next cozy craft night to life.
Good materials make stitching more enjoyable. Our kits include 100% Egyptian cotton thread, chosen for its strength and smooth feel, instead of cheap polyester that can break and knot. We also use wooden hoops to help keep your fabric snug and secure, so you can spend more time stitching and less time adjusting.
A little help, whenever you need it. If you get stuck, send us a photo and a description of what’s giving you trouble. We’ll offer personalized guidance to help you work through it and get back to enjoying your stitches. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own!
The Mini Apple creates thoughtfully designed DIY kits that introduce people to the joy of making things by hand.
Through approachable embroidery and sewing projects, we help beginners learn new skills while creating beautiful, useful pieces they're proud to own.
Our goal isn't to make lifelong customers dependent on our kits. It's to spark a lifelong curiosity about creativity and give people the confidence to explore it on their own.
