Mother's Day Gifts to Delight!

Premium embroidery kits with everything included - designed for mothers who deserve more than another candle. From complete beginners to experienced stitchers. Order by 10th March!


Finding The Right Mother's Day Gift Is Hard

Every year it's the same brief. She says "don't get me anything" but you know that's not really an option.


So you default to flowers (dead in a week), chocolates (she doesn't eat them), or a spa voucher she may never use. You buy things she'll smile at, say "lovely, thank you," and forget about by June.


Here's what she actually wants: Time for herself. Something creative. Something she can be proud of. Something that doesn't just sit on a shelf collecting dust.


That's exactly what our embroidery kits give her. A thoughtful mother's day gift she truly deserves.

Read some reviews from our customers

I've stitched different Fabled Thread botanicals kits and painted frames twice a year as gifts for my mum. I've embroidered Dahlias, Echinacea and Dandelions so far and I'm going to be working on Forget-Me-Nots and Oxlip next. I've really enjoyed learning new stitches and the kits are designed so well that it's all see...

I've got a kit from my daughter! What I loved most was that she guided me in many of the stitches and how to go about things, then helped me with the frame. Watching her take the lead made my heart burst, also, knowing she'd chosen the kit makes it all the more precious. I love that it's as much about her and how she t...

I've been an avid buyer this year as I have been on maternity leave. Your kits the past 9 months have kept me company and sane during this wonderful and mad time of having a new baby! I honestly don't think I can ever convey the meditative nature and wonder of doing something like embroidery to quell the anxiety of new...

Amina

Making up this kit was a joy! I worked on it while visiting my mom and helping her move out of our childhood home. The stitching sparked lots of good conversations and reminiscing too, not to mention lowering my stress levels. Thank you to The Fabled Thread and thanks also to my mom for sharing her skills and love of h...

Julie

So I have utterly LOVED several kits starting with the musicians, the fables and a night at the circus! I really enjoyed stitching as I cannot bear to waste anytime and the stitching can be done literally anywhere - in the car, on the beach, on an aircraft, with the grandchildren, while queuing, watching TV - it's such...

Not Your Average Craft Kit

Everything Included

No hunting for supplies. No confusing patterns. Every kit comes with a pre-printed pattern, quality threads, needles, wooden hoop, instructions, and video tutorials. She can start stitching the moment she opens it.


Designed to Finish

Unlike generic kits that sit half-done in drawers, these are made to be completed. Engaging designs with stories (Aesop's Fables, folk art, botanicals) keep her excited to pick it up. Beginner-friendly or advanced - there's a kit for every skill level.


Frame-Worthy Results

These aren't just crafts - they're art. Every design is created to be proudly displayed on the wall for years. She'll tell everyone who visits: "I made this." That's the gift that keeps giving. A unique mother's day gift she'll remember.



For Mums Who Love a Project

For mums who enjoy losing themselves in a creative project. These kits offer 20+ hours of meditative stitching with rich, storytelling designs inspired by Aesop's Fables.

Why making time for embroidery is important

When I started The Fabled Thread, my goal was never just to sell embroidery kits.


For me, it’s always been about something deeper—a way to help people discover the joy of creating something with their own hands. I believe the magic of sewing lies not just in the beautiful pieces you end up with, but in the process itself. There’s something truly special about those quiet, mindful moments when you’re lost in the act of making.


In a world that often focuses on fast results, we want to celebrate the slower, more meaningful journey of crafting. It’s not just about what you create - it’s about the time you make for yourself and how you feel while you’re creating. That’s what makes this experience so unique, and it’s the reason I believe so strongly in what we do.



For mum's who already stitch

For mums who already stitch and want something truly special. These wool needlepoint kits create striking wall art she's never attempted before. A genuine challenge with museum-worthy results.

Limited Stock on Bestselling Kits

Our most popular Mother's Day kits sell out every year. Once they're gone, they’re unlikely to be back in stock before Mother’s Day. So we recommend you order before 10th March to be safe.
