What is included in the kit?

  • A hand embroidery design featuring a favourite London house, draped in wisteria each spring.
  • A generously-sized piece of French antique linen, hand-printed with the design.
  • A thread card loaded with all the thread you will need to complete the kit, including the wisteria which is such fun to embroider.
  • A full-colour illustrated card folder printed with all the instructions.

"Love the ladies' coats and hats, the entire vignette is so charming."

Additional Information

Inspired by a favourite house in a pretty Peckham square, the ladies are perhaps from another time, a time when hats were de rigueur.

This design was the kit enclosed with Issue 2 of The Stitcher’s Journal in May 2019. The image is just bigger than A4 portrait, and the design is actually quite simple to stitch: many beginners have tackled it with great success.

PLEASE NOTE

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
