Join me for the first Sew-a-long with Animal Fayre project! The packs are now ready to post, you can pre-order from today, ready to start on the 14th April!!

The project is Little Animals Patchwork, an adorable collection of animals (and a lemon tree!) sewn using Victorian Cross-stitch on a single piece of canvas.

The pack contains everything you will need to make it, EXCEPT the pattern charts.
Tapestry wool, needles, canvas, organza bag, thread cards, folder, instructions, wool shade palette and an exclusive lucky dip block printed on velvet, to sew into a wee purse or pincushion.

The Sew-a-long lasts for 20 weeks.
Every fortnight, another block will be released, with the final 2 weeks will be making up tips and sharing final pieces.
You'll learn to sew Victorian Cross-stitch in easy steps. I'll be releasing videos and how to photos as we sew each block together.
You can follow the videos made for each block pattern release.
Block patterns will be sent as PDF's by email.
