Slow Stitch Kit - Sherwood Fall (UK Postage only)
Description
Each wondrous box is a treasure trove of fabric and trims for your slow stitching project.
Celebrate the mysterious Sherwood forest in autumn with over sixteen pieces of quality new fabric which will include designer brands, hand printed originals, Scottish Tweed and Irish Linen.
Legendary residence of Robin Hood and his merry men and populated by ancient oak trees, one thought to be between 800 and 1100 years old. Sherwood forest looks at its best in autumn and we have selected fabrics and trims in all of the wondrous colours.
One or two of the pieces are plain to allow you to add your own embellishment, painting, stamping or journal notes.
Included in each kit will also be a small piece of even weave or aida, so you can even add your own cameo cross stitch.
Some of the trims and ribbons may be vintage but will always be unused and these will include silk ribbon, lace and embellishments.
We include a range complimentary DMC or Madeira embroidery threads and we will even include a needle pack with a threader and John James high quality needles.
Packs of buttons and coordinating beads and sequins complete the kit and where possible, these are either vintage or made from natural, sustainable materials.
Fabrics included in this kit may vary but will stay on theme and are based on autumnal hues of the legendary Sherwood Forest. These will range from russet to mature greens, golds and red tones.
This wonderful collection is just perfect for slow stitch, junk journal or Sewing for the Soul projects and will be a welcome gift for those who enjoy sewing, collage and mixed media.
*** Each box will vary in content but will always be based around the theme and colour scheme. No instructions are included as this pack is designed for your own creativity***

Reviews
This is a great fabric package which includes lace, ribbons and embellishments. Well packaged and arrived quickly. Looking forward to starting a new project with my items.
Lovely fabrics good quality and coordinating colours love it 😊
This is a lovely kit with a good selection of fabrics,ribbons and embellishments to reflect the Lakeland Hues theme.
both my friend who I had a kit sent to, and myself who ordered the kits, were very pleased wth the kit and contents, all well packaged and a lovely seletion of fabrics etc to create with. a nice unusual kit.
This kit caught my eye when I saw it on Craft Courses, it looked so pretty and fresh colours. I received mine very quickly and it is so nicely packaged and a good deal of fabric and other embellishments too. I set great store by how things I buy are packaged up and this was really good.
I since ordered another kit to go direct to a friend and like with me she received it very quickly and is delighted with it.
Thank you Maire for such a lovely kit
This kit arrived earlier this week and is nicely packaged and has everything needed to make the item.
The instructions look clear and the end product looks like it will be beautiful (depending on my skill!).
The only reason I didn't give this 'excellent' is due to the fact that there's no print out for the stitches required, I'm going to look them up on YouTube as I think I know what I'm doing, but a simple print out showing how to do these stitches would be useful for others.
Overall, I'd buy this kit again, or another kit from the same maker.
Response from Maire Curtis Lakeland Studio:
Hello Louise,Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you are pleased with your kit.
I have noted your comment about the stitch guide but we do state that prior knowledge of the stitches is required so I will attempt to make this clearer on the item description.
Many thanks and happy stitching.
Maire.
