This could be a great Xmas gift for a beginner or intermediate embroiderer.
The kit contains everything you need to create a small, 15cm x 15cm piece using Jacobean crewel stitches on quality linen, showing a couple of cute bunnies in a field

The kit is in original condition and contains linen with stamped design, booklet with instructions and visual representations of all the stitches, all of the coloured wools needed, needles, scissors, hoops, a hoop stand and some kind of weird tool that I think is to tighten and loosen the hoops. The wools are beautifully presented in a box, the hoops and stand are plastic wrapped and never opened, and the whole kit is in a lovely linen bag with a gorgeous Jacobean design on it.

The Crewel Work Company, based in the UK, also has heaps of instruction videos on YouTube to help beginners work the Jacobean stitches.

It’s a really lovely little piece that could be framed for a child’s room or sewn onto a small cushion or cot blanket.

I have opened the box so reduced the price accordingly.

Pick up from Broomfield or add $10 postage.
Edit: More photos are available, message me your email address and I can send the lot

Price: $100

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
