If you are looking for a cracking gift for the creative person in your life or a relaxing new hobby for yourself, a cross stitch kit from Innocent Bones is a great place to start. Modern, stylish designs combine craft with art for both beginners and more experienced sewers, offering a mindful and rewarding experience that creates an artwork you can display in your home. There are several collections available including Folklore, Mystical and Gothic, and each collection includes a rich choice of design options enabling you to tailor the choice of kit to the personality of the recipient or even to build up a whole collection over time.
I have been enjoying creating The Moon from the Tarot collection in my free time over the past few weeks. It’s a really simple and effective design with a modern feel to it, and I absolutely love the colour choices. The thing about cross stitch that particularly appeals to me is that you don’t need to come to it with any particular skills or even a lot of free time. It’s something you can just pick up and put down but it’s also a very rewarding process. I always find that taking some time out of my busy day to sew a few lines centres me and brings a wonderful sense of calm.
Each kit contains a guide to basic cross stitching, a printed design chart to follow, cross stitch and backing fabric cut to size, and a generous amount of high-quality embroidery floss that is more than enough to complete the design. The kit also includes all the necessary equipment for the complete beginner, including a 5 inch wooden embroidery hoop, a pair of embroidery scissors, a packet of needle threaders and the perfect size needle. It all comes packaged in an attractive eco-friendly box that is tailor-made for gifting to someone you love.
I would give Innocent Bones’ cross stitch kits a solid five stars and would recommend them to anyone. These high quality kits are an inspired gift idea – creative but not complicated, great value for money and you get to create something beautiful!
