Make your own pair of Robins - hand sewing kit

I've been making my Robins for twelve Christmasses now, and this year I've put together a kit for you to make your very own beutiful pair of Robin decorations! You will make one of each of the Robins pictured.

These kits have been designed to be simple and fun to make, for any ability. A basic knowledge of hand sewing is helpful (you'll need to do some small, neat running stitches and back stitch) but there are no tricky embroidery stitches to learn - just simple applique.

Included in the kit will be: 

• A full instruction booklet giving you step by step details of how to make your Robins

• Two pieces of good quality wool felt to construct the Robins on, one interfaced to stiffen your finished decoration

• Your Robin components, pre-cut from good quality fabrics, and backed with a heat fix material so you can iron them carefully in position before you stitch

• A length of each colour Gutermann sew-all thread you'll need, on a reusable thread spool

• A length of waxed hanging cord

• A cuppa and a biscuit, to give you sustenance to sew! 
  
  If you are visually impaired and would like a digital copy of the instructions emailed over please just ask.

You will need a few simple things: 

• A fine needle, ideally a size 11 sharps - you can request to have one included in your kit if you don't have one at home.

• Pins or binding clips

• An iron (with the steam off)... or even hair straighteners if you don't have one! 

• Tweezers can be handy, but are by no means essential

• Scissors to cut around your finished Robin

• A dab of fabric glue or PVA is helpful, if you have it  
  

I would LOVE to see your work in progress photos on social media - please tag me @thefernery on your grid posts and stories, tik toks and facebook posts.  If you take a beautiful photo that I use either on my website or on Instagram (with your permission of course) I will send you a little treat in the post as a thank you. And it goes without saying that I would love you to pop back here and leave a review after your purchase, if you have a moment, to let others know how you found the kit.
