Hawthorn Handmade Starling Song Embroidery Kit for Beginners

Hawthorn Handmade Starling Song Embroidery Kit for Beginners

Bring a beautiful piece of British nature to life with the Hawthorn Handmade Starling Song Embroidery Kit for Beginners. Featuring a stunning scene of starlings, this relaxing embroidery project is a wonderful introduction to hand embroidery and a lovely way to spend some creative time away from screens.

The design is pre-printed onto 100% cotton fabric, so there's no need to transfer the pattern before you start stitching. You can stitch as much or as little of the printed design as you like, giving you the freedom to follow the suggested colours and stitches or add your own creative touches as your confidence grows.

The kit includes DMC stranded cotton embroidery thread, a 7" wooden embroidery hoop, embroidery needle and detailed instructions, giving you everything you need to begin your project. The illustrated embroidery guide and stitch and colour guide take you through the techniques step by step, making it suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced crafters looking for a relaxing project.

As you work through the design, you'll learn the essentials of hand embroidery, including how to prepare fabric in a hoop, work with stranded cotton thread and create more than six different embroidery stitches.

Once finished, your embroidered starlings can be displayed in the included 7" wooden embroidery hoop, creating a beautiful piece of handmade artwork inspired by nature.
