This kit contains everything needed to complete this beautiful needle case, and many more projects as this is a bumper bundle of gorgeous materials and threads.
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 that 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.
The kit has a large 47cm square pure linen panel in a very tasteful colour. The fabric is a minimum of 240gsm in weight making it beautiful to handle and work with, and I have selected all of the threads and fabrics for applique to complement your design. The applique fabrics are by Moda and Ruby Star Society, they are cotton and are vintage in style, which I love! 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 needle case, and you can follow my examples or go completely off piste and create something original.
Suitable for all levels of stitchers including beginners, as instructions, a stitch guide, and video stitch tutorials are all included.
The needle case holds your embroidery scissors and needle and pins safely whilst on the go. There are plenty of other projects that can be made with this kit, and I am sure you will want to make more!

Reviews
This kit is beautiful
It has been put together by Victoria with thoughtfulness and care
Just seeing the colours in my kit when I opened it soothed and calmed me
I am still slowly stitching and am content to wait to see the finished item
Thank you Victoria
