Stitch your own wearable Poppy Pin for Remembrance Day that will last year upon year. Inspired by my own family's military history and my husbands too this is a way I can give back through my love of stitching. 10% of each PDF booklet sold will go to Help For Heroes, an inspiring charity that has been working to help veterans since 2007.
Taking you through the stages of thread painting, double sided stitching and beading this PDF is a lovely introduction to Stumpwork.
I would recommend a basic knowledge of embroidery before purchasing this kit but if you are crafty and willing to take your time it can work for anyone!
