DIY stitch the design: kantha stitchwork
$ 22.00
This tiny, densely stitched piece is an ode to my favorite early 20th century kanta stitchwork. The original works live in my favorite art books; the pages have been marked as inspiration for years. I look to them because the patterns, movement, and colors are unusual and appealing. Each little stitching is intended to adorn your wall or be worn as a necklace. It can be finished as a pocket or a square.
Included in the kit:
- (1) 3” square of organic cotton/ hemp stamped with the design
- (1) 3” square of plant-dyed organic cotton/hemp for the back side
- 4 yards of fingering weight alpaca/cotton yarn
- various colors of embroidery floss for stitching the scene
- embroidery floss in a neutral color for assembly
- hand sewing needle
- detailed instructions with photos
- color photo of finished stitching
Gather from home: scissors, glue stick, 2-2.75 crochet hook (optional)
