Slow stitch kit for beginners, hand sewing kit, crab

Seaside crab slow stitch kit.

Capturing the essence of the coast in your creation, this seaside crab kit is perfect as a project for beginners to slow stitching. The cheerful crab and nautical elements are designed to ignite your creativity – producing a one-of-a-kind piece - without the need for complex patterns. It is a wonderful holiday project to work on yourself, or to gift for a loved one.

Slow stitching is a creative, mindfulness activity. It keeps your hands occupied and focuses the mind, as you allow your artistry and imagination to come to the fore amongst the waves and the sand.
It's so freeing and simple to do. Lay out or layer up your pieces in a pleasing arrangement - like a collage - and use your needle and thread to stitch together. Cut your fabrics however you wish to create your design.
You can produce something beautiful and unique to you, even if you have limited sewing experience, or haven't sewn since school. It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
This is a beginner's pack to get you started with slow stitch. This inspirational kit includes everything you need to lose yourself in the creativity of designing your own textile art slow stitching project with a seaside crab theme!

Photo images show an example of what you can expect in your package. PATTERNS AND COLOURS WILL DIFFER, but will match the colours and theme of your pack.
The kit includes a printout with my top tips for slow stitching. These are not instructions as the beauty of slow stitching is that you can create whatever you like without ever getting it 'wrong'.

This kit is not intended for unsupervised children, although it is an ideal way to introduce hand sewing with supervision.
