About this item
Inspired by William Morris's Strawberry Thief, my collection of vintage and reclaimed textiles and trims is perfect for Autumn or Christmas-style slow-stitching projects. I have carefully selected a variety of tones and shades of browns and blues to complement the colours of the bird print, and added a hint of red to echo the fruit. My kits are ideal for those new to the art of slow stitching, as well as those looking to build their collection of beautiful fabric scraps. Presented in a sturdy card box that fits through a letterbox, Strawberry Red Bird would make a lovely gift for a crafty friend - if you can bear to part with it, of course. Your box will include a piece of calico fabric as a foundation to sew onto, needles and pins, and my introduction to slow stitching leaflet and stitching guide (you can swap this for an emailed copy plus extra textiles - see options). One of my larger kits, with over 40 pieces of co-ordinated fabrics and trims. All carefully selected from my own collection or sourced from local vintage shops and individual sellers, these include. - bird and strawberry quilting cotton (William Morris Strawberry Thief in navy) - embroidered motif from vintage linen tablecloth - tweed wool offcut from tailoring business - red silk offcut from bridesmaids' dresses - scrap of an antique Welsh wool blanket - floral, check and geometric quilting cotton remnants - vintage and reclaimed upholstery braids and ribbons - vintage tatting and nylon lace - reclaimed cotton lace and guipure motif - vintage tapestry wool - cordage from factory waste sari silk - hand-dyed wool & linen yarns - embroidery threads - old buttons from my tin (may vary)
