These little kits feature eco-printed cotton or similar fabric by an artist-maker local to me.

Sarah collects leaves and blooms from her garden, the hedgerows and understanding neighbours in a little village in the Scottish Borders. She works her magic with carefully sourced materials, giving new life to rescued deadstock fabrics and utilising natural dyes.

I encourage you to stitch on this fabric, perhaps outlining the leaves, or making little random straight stitches (seed stitch) over the background to create a textured effect. I suggest just one or two strands of the 6-ply embroidery threads at a time in your needle.

As well as a needle and threads and wool wadding, there is a little guidance enclosed on how you might choose to stitch your pincushion. Embroider all over the fabric, selectively, or not at all - whatever you like!

The finished size is approx 10cm x 10cm.

Every kit is different, but sometimes I can make more than one kit from the same fabric. These ones can be considered as sisters - same style, same shades but each unique!

🧵Thanks for the lovely sales of my wee kits-in-tins this last week or so. New stock in production today of Indigo Patchwork and Indigo Garden tins.

Does anyone dye yarn with all the rich dark nuances of black cherries? 
I think that would be perfection.

Admittedly tomorrow I may feel the same way about wild strawberries, or starling plumage. Today, though, is a cherry day

Stitching at the kitchen table tonight. 
Small project, wonky stitches, no rules.
Finally finished the simplest shawl(ette) and it’s off for a wee bath. May show it off when it’s blocked🤗
Just before the heavens opened on us. 
Again!

New bundles in the shop! 
Lots of blues, lots of birds - bit of a theme…
Each bundle is a one-off mix of fabrics, threads and finished items - often sample pieces I’ve made - and always a little extra tucked in the box too😘

A coffee break with slow knitting. 
My new mug from recent travels perfectly captures west coast beach colours on a sunny day🤗
