The Just So Cushions

As with all The Fabled Thread kits, storytelling is at the heart of what we do. These kits are no different and depict the ridiculous and wonderful Just So stories by Rudyard Kipling. From the fantastical tale of a naughty crab to the greedy rhinoceros, each cushion has its own story to tell.

Needlepoint stitching is about as simple as sewing can be... it's colouring by numbers using wool instead of paint. Each cushion is accessible to beginners, and with no complicated stitches to learn, this process gives you the opportunity to completely switch off and unwind. Needlepoint cushions are incredibly hardwearing, so you will create a piece to last many lifetimes.

Each kit includes a bespoke sewing bag, the design printed on the canvas, pre-cut lengths of wool, needles and detailed instructions.

Needlepoint is about as relaxing as embroidery as the whole design is stitched in one stitch onto a pre-printed canvas. Almost like colouring by numbers! With no complicated stitches to learn, this stitching gives you the opportunity to completely switch off and unwind, whilst creating a cushion to last a lifetime.

It can be overwhelming knowing where to begin when deciding how to finish your cushion, so we wanted to make this process simpler with a carefully curated range of finishing materials. We stock backing fabrics, tassel kits and a range of piping to make up your cushion and we have a how-to video showing you how to do this process. Alternatively, we work with a seamstress who can make your cushions up for you - find out more about that here.
