Full description
Inspired by William Morris's Strawberry Thief, my collection of vintage and reclaimed textiles and trims is perfect for slow-stitching and textile art projects. I have carefully selected a variety of browns and blues to complement the colours of the thrush depicted near the white strawberry flower, and added autumn tones in pink, red and orange for extra richness.
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, Autumn Brown 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 quilting cotton (William Morris Strawberry Thief in navy)
- embroidered motif from vintage linen tablecloth
- tweed wool offcut from tailoring business
- 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)
