Raised Embroidery Kit - MOTHER HEN Needle Book

The needle book measures 9cm x 10cm wide (3 1/2” x 4”).

* LEVEL 1*
The MOTHER HEN Needle Book is an ideal first project if you have no prior experience with raised embroidery.

MOTHER HEN is embroidered onto light olive green print cotton fabric with stranded silk threads, using mostly common embroidery stitches. Layers of felt are used to create the hen’s plump body, and her head and wing are embroidered separately before being attached to the main embroidery. Needle-woven picots form the petals of the large flower bud

I do recommend that you have a bit of experience with general embroidery stitches and are comfortable stitching with fine threads.
The detailed instructions and diagrams will help guide you step by step through the project.
