From traditional to on trend embroidery is making a comeback. With this all-in-one craft kit, just released from becker&mayer! you can make gorgeous, beginner-friendly embroidery designs. Embroidery Designs Boho-Chic: Everything You Need to Stitch 12 Nature-Inspired Patterns by expert needlework designer Kelly Fletcher. This beautifully packaged kit opens to reveal the instructions, tools and materials needed to decorate fabric using a needle and thread. A booklet, 3 iron-on transfer sheets, 2 pieces of white fabric, 10 skeins of colorful embroidery thread, 2 needles and a 6-inch embroidery hoop are all neatly housed in a book-style box. The 64-page booklet has step-by-step instructions with full-color photographs for 12 embroidery stitches and 12 patterns. The striking patterns shown on the box are among the ones inside. Ten thread colors include - green, light green, orange, yellow, blue, light blue, raspberry, light raspberry, rust and white. I'm a beginner and wanted to see if I could follow the instructions and complete the embroidery stitches. I opened up the book, threaded a needle and began. To my delight I mastered the first 4 embroidery stitches I tried - the Straight Stitch, Backstitch, Blanket Stitch and Chain Stitch. This kit would make a lovely gift. Get your kit below!
