Stitch My Sewing Room, a counted cross stitch kit by Bothy Threads — a sewing room is filled with shelves of fabric, jars of buttons, a sewing machine, a chair and a clock above the window. A little stitcher's folklore: Isaac Singer patented his sewing machine in 1851, and it soon became a household essential. Why this kit: designed by Sally Swannell, it is full of tiny details that any stitcher will recognise, on soft cream Aida. Kit includes: 16-count cream Zweigart Aida, pre-sorted stranded cottons, a needle and a clear stitch diagram and instructions. Stitches used: full cross stitches, back stitch and French knots. A frame is not included. Stitch the room in cross stitch from the centre, then add the outlines in back stitch and the French knots. Finished size: 25×25 cm (9.8×9.8 in). The perfect piece for your own craft room.
