Deer Cushion Kit & Pattern

£ 32.50

Add a touch of the countryside to your home with a DIY deer cushion!

The cushion cover included in this kit is made from organic cotton: the fabric is ethically made by a family business in South India, and then given to a nearby women's cooperative to be sewn into cushion covers.

As well as teaching some basic hand embroidery stitches such as Back Stitch, Satin Stitch, and French Knots, this kit is also a great introduction to Long and Short Stitch (which creates the colour gradient on the antlers!).

Sammy's Note: this deer was the first piece of embroidery I ever designed myself (well... a slightly rougher version of this, at least!). The original version still hangs in my parents' living room, and I take a good look at it whenever I visit. It's fun to see how much my stitching has progressed since then!

Note that cushion filler/inner is not provided with this kit.
