Swallows Green Embroidery Kit by Alice Makabe

Enjoy a fun and creative embroidery experience that you can personalize with your own stitch choices.

This kit features 7 beautiful colors of embroidery thread  and a simple set of pattern-printed fabric. 

The technique for this kit is free stitching, which is best for intermediate users. Ambitious beginners willing to select their thread colors and stitches will do well, too. The project is free-stitch, which means that it does not have a stitch and color chart for you to follow. Instead, you are encouraged to use the pack of threads and your creativity to embroider the pre-printed cloth as you wish. 

Thus, this project is meant for intermediate stitchers but beginners who are ready to take the next step can most certainly take up the challenge!

The designer of this pattern is Alice Makabe, who is known to use a variety of stitches to create texture and depth. You'll experience a lot of them in this project! She has a deep love and appreciation for botanicals and wildlife.

This kit comes with instructions in Japanese* as well as all materials required to create the design. Each kit includes:

• No. 25 embroidery thread
• Cotton embroidery cloth with a pre-printed pattern
