A Jay, tired of being alike to all other Jays, dreamed of being something different.
On finding a peacock feather, he imagined what he could be.
Strapping feathers to himself he strutted back to all the other Jays.
But they quickly discovered he was no peacock and just another Jay. Laughing at his silly behavior they advised him: "It is not only fine feathers needed to make a fine bird".
Fine feathers do not make fine birds
This kit is suitable for beginners.
You will use three core embroidery stitches: straight stitch, chain stitch and split stitch.
All you need is a pair of scissors, everything else is included in the box:
- The design printed on cotton twill
- A detailed guide on the embroidery stitches
- An easy to follow colour coded stitching plan
- All the thread you need on colour coded bobbins
- Several needles
- A tote bag to enable you to easily transport your kit
The finished design will measure approx 7" x 10" (18 cm x 27 cm) and fit in an A4 frame. We expect it'll take 1 months to stitch (depending on how addicted you get to sewing of course!). We recommend stretching and mounting the finished piece prior to framing.
Note: The printed fabric only option does not include any other elements of the kit other than the fabric
