Jacobean crewel work embroidery kit - rabbits
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
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
