This is a super sized slow stitch kit that is chock full of gorgeous contents, to easily make several hand stitched projects with the beautiful prints contained in the kit.
The super sized kit includes two pure linen base fabric panels that can make lots of projects, as well as a large 48cm cotton panel printed with motifs of my mini paintings and drawings that will provide a super easy focus and a clear method to the process. There are ten full cotton skeins as well as two balls of Perle#8 cotton by Luca-S Also, there is wool blanket to add as padding to your projects, and a wool felt square that pockets can be made from. The fabric swatches of William Morris and Japanese printed fabrics are new to Litle House of Victoria, and I am thrilled to be able to bring these to you.
Make a sketchbook cover, a needle case, and a phone case, and there are endless other opportunities too! Instructions are provided for all three projects. With the two large linen panels provided you could make the large sketchbook cover and large needle case, or you could make all three projects as featured in the instructions by scaling down one of the other cases. At full size the cases are 24cm by 24cm for each cover, so they do fit quite a lot in.
How you decide to put these fabrics and threads together they will work beautifully, but there is still a great deal of scope for putting your own creativity on these projects. The booklet explains how I made my projects, and you can follow my examples or go completely off piste and create something original.
I hope you enjoy this slow stitching kit, and that it enables you to slow down and really relax and enjoy your stitching. No previous skill or creative talent is required for this project. The rules are there are no rules. I encourage you to embrace the frayed edge, and welcome textural and rustic stitching, and more importantly to go with the flow.
