Winter Foraging

What is included in the kit?

  • A romantic, wintry scene, with lots of different textures achieved with an inventive use of the simplest stitches.
  • The original embroidery design hand printed in the UK on a generously-sized piece of French antique linen.
  • A thread card loaded with all the threads you will need to complete the kit, including variegated threads from The Beautiful Stitch.
  • A beautifully-produced six-panel folder printed in full colour, containing detailed instructions, an actual size drawing of the design (enabling you to transfer it should you wish to stitch the piece again) and additional images for inspiration.
Inspired by an advertisement for winter clothing designed by Son de Flor.  ON BACK ORDERS AWAITING THREADS. We will despatch any other items in your order separately and hope to have the threads by 22 November.          

£38.00

Additional Information

With thanks to Son de Flor for permission to use the image as the initial inspiration. Gathering foliage to make a wreath is one of my favourite winter moments, but with crisp snow crunching beneath my boots and wearing such a coat, the shape of which only @sondeflor would dream up — that is where fantasy meets hand embroidery! Using mostly very simple stitches — Straight stitch, couching, a little Satin stitch – this kit is an example of how being creative with the simplest of stitches, using a Straight stitch much as you might use a pencil to make a mark, you can have a lot of fun creating different textures.

PLEASE NOTE

Update for ALL customers

8 December 2025

Just a little update.
 
We ship to the US, duty paid, by us. The postage has gone up a bit because we have to use a new system. 
 

Issue 27 of The Stitcher’s Journal will be despatched early next week. I am just working on the last tweaks now. 

As soon as it has gone to print I shall be launching a new embroidery kit to enjoy through the twelve days, and my Christmas Inspiration bundles – bundles of linen printed with Christmas foliage and motifs, interleaved with a few surprises. We will be posting these out next week as well.
 
If you are thinking of subscribing to The Stitcher’s Journal and want to try a copy, you can pre-order Issue 27. As with all the Journals, I only print for subscribers plus a few extras.  Issue 27 has two inserts with Christmas embroidery ideas and patterns.

We will be posting by Tracked 24 hour post (UK only) up to 4pm on Friday, 19th December, and we aim to post out on the day of ordering. 
 
Thank you so much as ever for your support. 
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
