This super sized kit contains a fabric panel ready printed with my drawing of a cute hedgehog house design. All materials and instructions are included as to how to make the project bag or a book cushion.
It has ten full skeins of beautiful Mouline cotton threads from the brand of Luca-S, as well as a skein of pure Brititsh wool. There will be plenty of the threads left over for further projects when you have completed this one.
It also comes with a whopping 1 metre by 0.5 metre heavy pure linen panel, which is of a sturdy weight making it perfect for making the project bag. The bag is simply closed together with the cotton webbing and wooden buttons at the side panels, the front, and the inner pocket flap too. There is no need to add a zip, but you could if you wish. The whole of the side panel opens up, so it is possible to store large items or projects in there, it is particularly good for storing fabric, knitting, or crochet. The front pocket could house a book, and the inner pocket is perfect for storing threads and scissors.
First the printed panel is embroidered before fixing it to the bag or cushion, or you could make it into numerous other items. Full instructions are provided and all materials are provided, all that is needed are scissors to snip the thread.

This kit is not suitable for children as it contains a sharp embroidery needle and small parts.
The fabric and threads are washable on a cool hand wash. If youa re concerned about shrinkage, pre-wash the fabrics but stitch around the outer edge before washing. I recommend dry cleaning rather than washing for the finished embroidery.
Reviews
I really enjoyed making this project bag. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, I did put my own spin on it by adding beads. I’m so happy with the results and will be giving it to a dear friend as a gift. I know she will be thrilled with it!
This embroidery was a joy to stitch. There were lots of embroidery threads included and plenty of linen fabric. I chose to line my bag with a cotton fabric to give it more strength as I always put too much in. The instructions were easy to follow. I l9ve it use it all the time now.
