Wild Flowers Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self
In nature, flowers are not all perfect but exuberate nevertheless.
The stitches used are running stitch, chain stitch, Fly Stitch, French knots, buttonhole stitch, and seed stitch.
In the inclosed set of instructions, we have described the threads and stitches that we used in our samples. However, please feel free to use other threads and your favourite stitches. This is freestyle embroidery and by varying the methods you use, your embroidery will become unique
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.

Hungarian Rhapsody Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self
I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes.
The stitches used are running stitch, chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, couching, eyelets and fly stitch.
The outlines of the leaves, stems, flowers and pomegranates are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
