The Make Arcade

Spare Stitches - Box 9

Miss out on our latest box? Don't worry - here are the spares! There aren't many so will be available while stocks last.

The ‘Rise and Shine’ box we will be diving headfirst into spring with a riot of colour and joyful checked printed aida. The bold stitched motto is then made into a banner to hang up at the time of year when all around us things start to grow and get a little bit brighter.

You will be guided how to do cross stitch if you are a beginner and then make the banner - I guarantee this one will raise a smile whenever you pass it, whether in kitchen, office or hallway.

In each beautifully presented box you will receive:

  • colourful checked printed 14 count aida
  • Rise & Shine- cross stitch chart
  • DMC threads and needle
  • Scallop edging, Wooden baton, felt and twine to create the banner
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Mini zine with an extra set of mini cross stitch motifs.

The box doesn’t include a hoop as the design doesn't fit in a circle, but if you would prefer to use one to hold your fabric as you stitch you can add one here (3”, 4” or 5” would be ideal).
