Make a personalised pincushion with this little pincushion base that is unique to Beyond Measure. You add your own fabric and stuffing to make a very personal gift that can be embellished with an initial, a favourite motif or just us a special scrap of fabric. The wooden base comes with template and instructions – just add wool stuffing and your own fabric.
Take inspiration from our many embroidery books too to find a suitable motif for Mother’s Day or a birthday gift.
Have fun stitching this lovely sashiko kit and make two lovely coasters as well! The kit contains all you need for a quick stitching project that can be made in an evening or two. You could also fill the cloths to make lavender bags as an alternative to the coasters.
Why not stitch up a kit in a way that is personal to your mum or special person in your life?
You could illustrate significant outfits from her life, or her favourite designers, film stars or musicians – the choice is yours!
