Alicia de los Reyes

I am a writer who loves to make things. My work has appeared in The Craft Industry Alliance, Historic New England, PLY Magazine, and others. I am also the creator of Handmade History Podcast, which I co-host with my sister. Every other week September – May, we share stories about the people, materials, and practices related to your favorite handcrafts.

Our listeners love embroidery, and we do, too! My love for crafting reawakened with freehand embroidery back in 2015, and since then, I’ve also done cross-stitch (so satisfying) and a bit of blackwork. My passion is going down rabbit holes about crafts and finding connections across time and place in my research. I’m delighted to contribute to Embroydica.
