The Gingerbread Bird House

  • A generous piece of antique French linen hand-printed and painted with the design, with enough spare to use if you wanted to make a decoration or cover a small notebook.
  • A pretty thread card filled with all the threads you will need to complete the kit.
  • A six-panel folded card printed with all the instructions, an actual-size drawing of the design and illustrations. A very simple stitch, and a lovely Christmas present to give to a friend who likes or wants to learn to stitch.

Additional Information

An original design featuring a gingerbread bird house inhabited by a pair of white doves. A lovely kit for a beginner.

A very simple stitch, and a lovely Christmas present to give to a friend who likes or wants to learn to stitch. You can either frame the completed embroidery in a vintage wooden frame and prop it on the mantelpiece at Christmas, or you could make a little slip cover for a notebook in which you keep Christmas lists and notes or recipes, as a customer has done (see below).

Update for ALL customers

27 October 2025

I am delighted to announce that we are now able to ship to the US, duty paid and, for the time being, I will absorb the duty.
 

Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal has now been despatched to all overseas subscribers and you should shortly be receiving emails from Royal Mail confirming this, with a tracking number. 

The website has had to be reconfigured so that shipping is no longer included in the prices, but is rather a flat rate, set for whichever country we are sending  to — including the UK — and will be shown at the checkout.  I have of course reduced the kit prices, which used to include shipping, but I have also taken this opportunity to review my prices which have not increased to reflect the considerable increase in costs since February 2022. All in all, I think the results are fair, especially as in carrying out this exercise I realise I have been heavily subsidising the actual postage costs for the past three years.
 
Unfortunately, we are not currently able to take advantage of the Large Letter Rate for shipping to the US, but on a positive note (!)  all orders are now tracked and the flat rate has a greater weight allowance.
 
I will be adding some new kits, bundles and vintage finds and fabrics to the site today, Monday 27th October and through the week, and I really hope things will run smoothly now. 
 
Thank you so much for your support and patience, it means more than I can say.
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
