About this item
Inspired by the soft, warm brown tones of Welsh cakes and Bara Brith, this gorgeous slow stitching kit evokes memories of a good old-fashioned Welsh High Tea. In a muted palette and with prints and textiles reminiscent of a Victorian parlour, the creams and browns are offset by red, green and white. Perfect for winter or Christmas crafting, stocking filler, or a gift for a crafty friend. Available in 2 sizes, the kits include a piece of calico fabric for a foundation to sew into, needles and pins, and my introduction to slow stitching leaflet and stitching guide (you can swap this for an emailed copy plus extra textiles - see options). And of course, the gorgeous textile scraps - carefully chosen for textural and visual interest. There are some lovely fragments of antique or vintage textiles I have collected over the years here in Wales, plus scraps from my patchwork quilting, and pieces salvaged from pre-loved clothes or furnishings. Both sizes are based on the same main fabrics and trims shown in the photos - the larger box has larger pieces and more extras. WELSH TEXTILES - vintage or antique - linen tablecloth with lace motif edge - hand crocheted doily - crocheted tablecloth - narrow loom wool blanket - hand-stitched quilt OTHER TEXTILES AND TRIM - floral and plain quilting cotton scraps - upholstery trims - lace, ribbon and tapes - tapestry and darning wool - hand dyed wool yarn - embroidery threads - old buttons Due to their age, some pieces may have small marks or tears.

Family recipies handed down the generations. Welsh Cakes are sweet almost scone-like cakes cooked flat on a griddle, traditionally studded with raisins but I prefer mine plain. Bara Brith is a rich fruit cake, where the fruit is soaked overnight in liquid tea (no milk!) before mixing with the other cake ingredients. Plus the Welsh flag colours of course....
Recommended for adults and children over 14. Warning: Contains pins and needle with a functional sharp point. Keep out of reach of small children. Allergen: wool contains lanolin, vintage fabrics have unknown materials and dyes.

I absolutely love my vintage bookmark, the fabrics are gorgeous and my Christmas felt decoration is perfect for my fresh tree in December. Stitching is spot on. Thank you, Sharon. Prompt delivery, packaged beautifully in white tissue paper.
