We are very excited about the launch of this new website with all our new kits.
We have made up the samples and displayed them in the foyer of the shop at the school of stitched textiles for all the visitors to have a first look at. The students have also had a look at them and have commented very favourably.
We have been making up kits ready to sell and put the finishing touches to the web site.
There is a a revival of craft's and in particular sewing and we would like to inspire young and old to get started with the beginner's kits, it would be a shame if these skills were lost to future generations.
Our next step is to get inspiration and ideas for the next range, which will mean a few nice outings. We are planning to launch new kits periodically, so keep looking in and see if you like them.
