The Bella Kit is where Vintage meets Contemporary with Vintage Botanical Illustration collected from Museum archives printed onto beautiful quality linen. I have created this image to provide you a beautiful base to start from.

Alongside our carefully curated supplies, the same materials I use daily in the studio, this image is the perfect jumping off point for a creative stitch project.

Included in the kit are always these elements straight from my studio:

• Two pieces of fabric, one hand painted linen, the other your printed image on linen

• A Beechwood Hoop

• Chenille needles - size 18-22

• A selected range of threads including our hand dyed wools and stranded cottons/floss

• Square of felt for backing your hoop when finished

• A printed pep talk & simple suggestions guide to help you get started

• Link to a curated pinterest board with tutorials for stitches and inspiration (this is included in your tracking email sent when your kit ships)

I carefully select the linen and threads to work with the image as if I was making it myself and it makes me so happy to imagine what you might create with the same tools but your very different mind, skills and aesthetic.

Please note due to the unique nature of hand dyed wools and printed linen the colours may vary a little from time to time as we create or source each collection of threads.

This kit can work for any ability level (especially beginners) as you can choose to approach the project with simple outlines and details or really geek out and layer and add intricate elements to your hearts content. Our generous supplies make this easy to do.

This is truly an opportunity to honour your unique creative spirit, no rules, just ideas and a beautiful, fun and therapeutic process.
