Spark creativity and learning with our delightful collection of In The Hoop (ITH) Busy Book embroidery designs. At Designs by JuJu, we offer a variety of patterns that allow you to create interactive, fabric-based activity books entirely, or almost entirely, within your embroidery hoop. These designs are perfect for keeping little hands engaged while promoting fine motor skills and imaginative play.​

Each busy book design comes with comprehensive, step-by-step photo tutorials to guide you through the process, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced embroiderers. Our busy books often require multiple hoopings, with pages that are stitched completely in the hoop. The final assembly is straightforward and rewarding.​

Explore designs like our Busy Book Page Fruit Tree Deluxe Set, a charming two-page layout that brings hands-on learning to life. This set includes everything your child needs to complete each page plus a blank pocket back for optional add-on activities. With detailed instructions, full photo tutorials, and multiple size options (5x5, 6x6, 7x7, and 8x8 hoops), it's never been easier to stitch a personalized, interactive page. It's part of our Build Your Own Busy Book series, perfect for crafting a truly one-of-a-kind quiet book experience.

Complement your busy books with other ITH projects such as soft toys and educational games to create a cohesive and engaging learning experience. With our diverse range of designs, you're sure to find the perfect project to showcase your creativity and delight the children in your life.
