A Stitcher's Heart

Pocket, Needlebook, Needle Magnet, Scissors Case and Scissors Fob!  Store all your beautiful stitching tools in this luscious Stitcher's etui! Fold it in half for storage, or open flat to display and use the attached accessories! Enjoy various cute specialty stitches, a touch of Hardanger, Drawn Thread, and some Cross-Stitched areas too. Frame the pocket sampler in an exquisite little frame or finish the other accessories separately instead of sewing to the blue cloth. I hope you have fun learning and stitching this elegant design and practicing your Drawn Thread and Hardanger weaving. At the back of this leaflet, you’ll find a thorough step-by-step finishing guide and photographs to help you finish. You will be so proud to use this elegant set at your next guild meeting or stitcher’s gathering!
