Stitching Beauty — Inspiration from Minä Perhonen and More!
We’re over the moon to have a fresh collection of Minä Perhonen Fabric Swatches! Each time these come to the shop we’re inspired anew.
Minä Perhonen designs are truly exquisite. Akira Minagawa’s intricate depictions of the natural world draw inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese art traditions, and the results are stunning. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship are phenomenal as well. It’s clear from holding even a small piece of a Minä Perhonen fabric that you are seeing something special. Minä Perhonen cares so much about everything they make that they don’t let an inch of it go to waste.
We love engaging in the work of Minä Perhonen through their fabric swatches. It’s a treat to get to have a conversation with these pieces through our own stitches. One of these swatches can send you on a creative journey you never expected, and each stitch you add turns the fabric into something new and unique. Whether you use these pieces for mending, quilting, or just framing on the wall, they’re sure to bring you joy.
Floral Magnetic Needle Holders
If you’ve ever used a needle, you’ve lost a needle. There’s probably no way to prove this, but every stitcher we’ve ever met has been able to commiserate. No longer! Lovely Floral Magnetic Needle Holders are as darling as they are useful, making it super easy and convenient to keep your needles from running off. Designed to look like vintage postage stamps, each one is hand-painted with care. But don’t be fooled by how dainty they look, these magnets are seriously strong! Keep one to hand during your crafting and needle loss will be a thing of the past!
Tulip Assorted Beading Needles
A little embellishment can take a piece of stitching to the next level, and we always love seeing the creative ways people incorporate beads and other special little trinkets in their work. Adding personal touches is a breeze with some gorgeous Beading Needles from Tulip in assorted sizes. These are a beader’s delight. They’re strong but flexible, the eye is reinforced to resist splitting, and there won’t be a snag in sight. These are wonderful, reliable tools you’ll come back to again and again!
Solufleece
Solufleece is the easiest way to make sure your embroidery comes out clean, neat, and beautiful. This non-woven stabiliser dissolves completely in cold water, so you can copy your template onto it, stitch your design, and dissolve it away without a trace! Solufleece is especially good for stitching on knits or other delicate or tricky fabrics, as it helps keep your fabric steady. It’s a thing of beauty!
