Description

This sparkling this dragonfly with iridescent lacy wings makes the perfect goldwork embroidery subject. In Navy blue or burgundy duchess satin and everything you need, apart from scissors and embroidery hoop is in the kit. The design is hand drawn onto the fabric so you can begin embroidering straight away. Traditional goldwork threads and wires are accompanied by stunning modern metallics, beads and sequins.

Vegans can also enjoy stitching this work as we use a lovely soft faux metallic leather which looks just like the real thing.

The Tara Dragonfly Goldwork project was specially created for a Craft Sanctuary embroidery retreat in 2017 and it became and instant hit. I wanted to combine fine modern metallic threads with traditional goldwork wires and techniques in a workshop suited to a two day event.

Kit contains small components and sharp needles. Please keep out of reach of young children and animals. Threads may contain nickel.

  • It's many years since I used the prick and pounce method but this kit has put it back in my sewing box! Great for transferring designs onto dark fabrics. My kit arrived very quickly and I would buy from Maire again.
