Includes a full alphabet, upper and lower case, and numbers too. Also included are the '&' and '/' signs so that you can make names, words, letters, initials and dates. Also included is a heart symbol, so if you do not wish to make a word, then a love heart symbol will convey the message. The 'M' letter shown is just an example, I didn't have the time to stitch all the alphabet unfortunately.
I love the Art Deco era, it was so beautiful and glamorous. I have taken flavours of the Art Deco aesthetic and applied it this alphabet design on pure linen in this gorgeous leafy green colour. This stylish kit makes a self lined drawstring bag, or a cushion front cover, perfect for personalised gifting, or as a gift for yourself.
The alphabet contains:
- Upper case
- Lower case
- Numbers
- Symbols; A star, and a heart, and the words 'Love' and 'Home'
The threads contained within this kit are scrumptiously soft, and glide through the pure linen panel beautifully. The bag measures approximately 22 x 24 cm when finished and is lined with the same fabric throughout, making it feel very luxurious.
Containing all the materials you will need to make this bag, apart from scissors to cut the thread and fabric. You will receive a 50cm x 50cm pure linen panel in one square, so if preferred you could make a cushion or a large bag with the panel.
The kit is suitable for beginners and advanced stitchers alike, as the stitches are easy to master, and there are videos at the website for the stitches.
Included in the kit:
- Pure linen fabric panel, 50 x 50 cm.
- Pure 100% cotton, 6 full skeins in vintage colours from the Victoria's Favourites range.

If you are creating a cushion then all you will need is the stuffing and a back cover, and a pair of scissors to cut the thread. Instructions are provided as to how I make hand sewn cushions from these panels.

The fabric and threads are washable by cool hand wash. Pre wash the linen panel if you intend on washing the finished embroidery.
