Rabbit Embroidery Kit

This bright, fresh rabbit design is the ideal project to brighten up a room! With a gorgeous pastel background and some added floral details, this piece looks just as good in a countryside living room as it does in a kid's bedroom.

  • perfect for beginners
  • hoop measures 7.5 inches across
  • packaged in a sustainably made gift box

Paraffle Note: This rabbit was the first design I created for a pastel, yellow background - and I'm in love with the bright, light feel of it! The kit was intended to make a standalone piece - but it quickly acquired a counterpart, the moon gazing hare!

100% Organic Cotton Fabric

100% Organic Cotton Fabric

We're really proud of this fabric. A LOT of cotton fabric out there comes from China, and is potentially picked by enslaved Uighurs (BBC investigation).

So we've made sure our fabric is not.

Made from cotton that's organically grown in India by a family run business. It's woven and dyed by the same firm. Importantly, they recycle the water used (growing and dying cotton uses a LOT of water) as well as only using a "Low impact" dying process.

The cushions we supply come from the same fabric - they're stitched for us by a women's co-operative in Kerala.

Our Tote bags are certified GOTS and made in India by another company.

Pre-printed pattern

Pre-printed pattern

Gamechanger.

We print each pattern onto a water soluble adhesive fabric stabiliser - when the kit arrives, simply peel the pattern off the backing paper and stick it onto the fabric. Once you've finished stitching, the stabiliser dissolves away in lukewarm water.

Why's it a game changer?

1. The extra strength the stabiliser provides while stitching prevents the fabric from misbehaving whilst stitching.

2. There's no problems with being able to see the pattern whilst stitching - white background, black pattern.

3. There's no printed pattern showing after you've washed the stabiliser away. Just your stitching.

4. Because we print this ourselves, we don't have to buy bulk pre-printed cotton. We'll always know who makes our fabric and where the cotton is grown.

Backing Felt

Backing Felt

Each hoop kit comes with felt included, which is for backing your finished piece. Doing so protects the stitches, and makes sure the colours in your piece isn't affected by whichever wall you hang it on!

The felt we supply is made in the UK by a family firm using 30% wool/70% viscose.

Vegan?

We have a synthetic felt available, just add a note to your order and we'll make sure you get that instead of the wool felt. We will be changing to only supplying a synthetic felt once we find a UK made one that's only made from recycled materials and or non-plastic based - if you know of such a felt, PLEASE let us know about it!

Felt isn't included in the Banner kits as it's not necessary. Likewise, the cushion and tote bag kits don't need the backing felt - you'll find an iron on interfacing included in these kits.

Perfect piece for getting back into embroidery

I have done a few little embroidery pieces recently but this is the 1st bigger piece I've done in more years than I care to admit to.

The instructions were clear, concise and informative.

The kit had everything I needed to complete the project.

I enjoyed doing the different stitch techniques (including French Knots).

This is a lovely kit, I have the hare & moon kit too, to do, I thought they made a lovely pair.

Fabulous kit!

I absolutely loved completing this embroidery - the finished item is quirky and modern yet traditional. It looks lovely and I now can’t wait to order the moon gazing hare to match.

Here you see I’ve finished and washed the transfer off (yes, I know I need to iron it!)

Loved it!

Clear, simple instructions but with scope to adapt if you choose. I couldn’t put it down after I started! I’m thinking of turning it into a clock for my grand-daughters nursery
