The materials you need to stitch and construct the Bee-Jeweled Pincushion from the Stitch Snippets tutorial series on Needle 'n Thread.

The Bee-Jeweled pincushion is a small (3") hexagon-shaped pincushion, embellished with surface embroidery, bead embroidery, and a special antiqued gold-tone bee charm.

The project is suitable for determined beginners and beyond. Basic embroidery skills are required. You should be able to transfer a design, start and end threads, work simple stitches, and follow basic instructions. All techniques will be covered in the tutorial series.

The embroidery is worked with one or two strands of floss, and embellished with size 15/0 seed beads.

Kit Contents

Each kit contains blank ground fabric, embroidery floss, beads, bead thread, specialty bee charm, needles, interfacings, and board for constructing the pincushion.

You supply a hoop or frame, scissors, glue (if using), sewing thread, and stuffing.

Instructions and design for this project will be posted in a series of tutorials on Needle 'n Thread. Instructions and design are not included in the materials kit.
