New for 2025 are these delightful Stitch Your Own embroidered cushions. The designs and instructions are printed on the 100% cotton drill fabric with further illustrated stitch tutorials printed on the packaging card.
Begin by embroidering and embellishing the designs using a hoop and tapestry wool or similar (not provided) , then cut out and sew together (sewing machine ideal but not essential).
Both Natty the Nutcracker and Merry the Matryoshka stand around 25cm tall when complete and can be stuffed with toy stuffing for a cosy cushion or add dried pulses or sawdust for a sturdy doorstop.
A great beginners embroidery project with their large stitches and simple to follow designs.
THERE ARE THREE DESIGNS TO CHOOSE FROM
RED NATTY NUTCRACKER
PINK SLEEPING MATRYOSHKA
PINK AWAKE MATRYOSHKA
SUSTAINABLE & SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES
Designed and produced in London, the cushions are printed onto 100% cotton fabric (Oeko-Tex and EN71 approved) using eco-friendly water based inks.
EMBROIDERED FOLK CUSHIONS
In the kit:
Hand screenprinted 100% wool felt sardines in 3 colours.
CHOOSE FROM:
TROPICAL pink/yellow/orange
MEDITERRANEAN blue/lilac/peppermint
8 page full colour instruction booklet with stitch guides and inspiration images
DMC Mouline Embroidery floss + metallic Diamant thread
Embroidery needles
A mix of vintage and preloved beads and sequins for extra sparkle
A pokey stick to help with stuffing
All you will need to provide to create your sardines are embrodiery scissors and stuffing - I recommend using scrap fabric; such as soft cotton sheets or similar rather than toy stuffing as it gives a good weight to the finished fish (and is better for the planet!!)
