Whether you are a beginner wanting to dip your toes into the world of embroidery, or a more advanced stitcher looking for a new project, learn how to use simple hand embroidery stitches to create this beautiful poppy meadow.

Illustrated, step by step instructions guide you through how to use stranded cottons and silk to build up the design using a variety of interesting stitches including back stitch, fly stitch, seed stitch and French knots. You will also be guided through the process of adding a subtle sparkle to your work by using seed beads to anchor down delicate sequins and incorporating fine gold thread into your stitches.

The design is pre-printed onto the fabric so there is no need for tracing, making this kit an ideal beginner project!
