Funny Sarcastic Beginner Hand Embroidery pattern: Fueled by caffeine and chaos. (PDF download)

"Fueled by caffeine and chaos." This inspirational quote? Proud declaration? Tongue in cheek admission? This sarcastic meme came across my feed, and I immediately put it on my list to embroider. I love this short, sweet, and sassy phrase because it makes me think of so many people I know and love. Some are coffee lovers, some have adhd, some are just really, really busy parents.

This beginner embroidery pattern is a lighthearted, fun way to declare for yourself or your friends and family. I sewed this pink, purple, and metallic gold floral wreath and black text on pink cotton, but it would be fun on other colored backgrounds. I think it would also be fun art on a tote bag, kitchen towel, tee shirt, or denim jacket.

This PDF pattern is very beginner friendly and satisfying to sew. I provide DMC thread colors plus stitch suggestions, but I encourage you to be creative and personalize with your own!
