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.         

Price range: £42.00 through £48.95

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.

Update for US customers

2 September 2025

Just a brief update to say that  Royal Mail and Parcelforce have merged and come up with a fantastic new system. It just requires some serious tweaks to the website, so if US customers could just hold off for a few more days while I ascertain precisely where we stand, and my website developer implements the changes which will enable us to send kits and journals ‘fully landed’, with the customer seeing the duty paid at the checkout. The Stitcher’s Journal is free of duty. My embroidery kits bear 11.4%. My bundles of used fabrics are also free of duty. So we are just setting up accounts and integrating the website, and I am very hopeful that any price increases will be minimal.

I am taking the opportunity to re-stock the website at the same time, so that we can re-open with some new things on offer. I am also working on Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal to come out later this month.

Changes can be unsettling, but sometimes, once one gets to grips with them, things don’t look so bad so I just want to reassure my US customers that it is not all doom and gloom.

A newsletter will be going out as soon as everything is set up. I am also confident that I can soon open up to the EU again; I have an online meeting with a Product Safety Compliance Company in which I hope to demonstrate that neither The Stitcher’s Journal nor my embroidery kits pose a danger to anyone. 

Thank you for your patience and supportive messages, each one just spurs me on, even after a long day buried in the Harmonised Tariff Schedule, which actually makes the most fascinating and distracting reading!

With very best wishes,
Caroline
