Embroidery techniques can be used to personalise clothing, accessories, or even decoratively mend pieces. You can create works of art for display, or decorate something handy, like a tote bag.
Is cross stitch or embroidery easier for beginners?
It depends! Our cross stitch and embroidery kits are all beginner-friendly. While cross stitch has a single and easy to master technique, the patterns aren't printed on the fabric. Embroidery, on the other hand, has the pattern printed, but has more than one technique to learn. Either way, we have comprehensive tutorials to guide you.
What is the benefit of crafting?
Over 70% of Craft Club customers in March 2026 said crafting benefits them as a way to relax and to have a creative outlet. There is a deep wellness theme across responses, as customers have used craft to manage anxiety, ADHD, and stress.
Can I make my own designs?
Absolutely, you can! By drawing your design or printing one and tracing it onto the fabric with a water-soluble pen over a lightbox or window.
What is embroidery?
Embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle and thread or yarn. Unlike basic sewing, which is used to construct or repair garments, embroidery is purely decorative.
Are these kits beginner-friendly?
Yes! All of our craft kits are designed to be beginner-friendly. We believe that creativity is for everyone, and want to give people the confidence to find their creative side.
What are the hoops made from?
Embroidery hoops are typically made from bamboo - and this is what the hoops in our kits are made of. There has been a rise in plastic hoops being used, but they can be a bit pricier.
Are there guides included?
Yes, video and written guides are included in our embroidery kits. We want to make crafting as enjoyable as possible, so there's no way we'll leave you hanging!
Is embroidery hard to learn?
No, embroidery is not hard to learn. It does take practice to increase your skill, but we make kits perfect for beginners, so you're more than safe to start here.
Do the minis come with all three patterns, or do I have to choose one?
All embroidery minis kits come with enough materials to create all three patterns! No need to try and choose a favourite, because we sure couldn't!

This kit was my second kit. I love the pouch! This time the half stitching went really fast. The kit comes with everything you need. It helped with my relaxation and destressing after work!! So glad I found the Craft Club!!
I made this for my granddaughter who is majoring in fashion at college and leaving for a semester in London. Thought it was very fashion forward and she absolutely loved it!! Thinking about making one for myself - maybe not in pink.
I love the kits! Ready to go, all the materials are provided! Kits are fun and relaxing to use. I take them with me everywhere and stitch them at lunch or anytime I have a break or extra time! Can’t wait to pick out my next one!
Love this pattern and this kit! The quality of all of the materials is amazing, seriously the best thread and Aida cloth I’ve ever had in a kit. Excited to display it this holiday season!
Still a work in progress but I'm enjoying it!!! I did notice that the aida cloth in this kit was VERY stiff when I unboxed it, almost like cardboard. My previous kit had very soft and flexible cloth so I'm not sure why this is so different - but it was a chore to get it secured in the hoop! I've noticed that it's softened up as I work but I'm curious about this difference in quality.
Love these kits! every thing comes in the bag, all you have to do is enjoy. The threads are separated and on a card so it's easy to follow the chart. The printed canvas is super easy to use. I have such a good time and find I spend all my free time needlepointing now!
Only partway through this project but I am absolutely loving it! It’s so mindless to stitch and I’m really excited to finish it! Can’t wait to have it in my lounge room with Blossom and Buttercup 🩵🩷💚
I liked learning all the different techniques. At first I was upset there weren't written instructions (since your site says "get off the screen"), but the videos really showed how to do the techniques well.
I do wish the yarns weren't synthetic material.
My first craft club kit - I was very impressed! Materials were good quality and I love how large the pattern was, so helpful. This was very fun to complete!
I am obsessed with this kit - it is very simple to work up in an afternoon and is the perfect bag charm to hold your go to lip balm in easy reach. I have used it every day since I made it.
Excellent diary, with the reminders I need. Takes the guess work out of a repeat project and helps me match yarn and hooks. It’s also becoming my brag book 😁
Super easy to follow instructions and an enjoyable experience, the only negative feedback would be that the finishing on the inside of the pouch had a lot of loose strings
I recently got into bead embroidery and decided to give this pattern a try. I absolutely loved it! It was so much fun to work on, and I enjoyed matching the beads to the flowers to bring the design to life. The pattern was enjoyable, relaxing, and the finished result is beautiful. Thank you for such a lovely pattern!
Took about 45 minutes, really fun and I love the customizability of it!! The video tutorials were really helpful and easy to understand! Highly recommend and I will be buying other kits.
This kit was super easy and fun! I'm a first time needle pointer and had no issues at all. Highly recommend to beginners and advanced! Plus it's a great accessory to hold all of your change! :)
i loved that i had everything that i needed! so all i needed was a few brain cells and a free afternoon to bring this kit to life. thank you for all the thoughtful tutorials and planning that you put into this!
Really liked making it. It's a bit repetitive. But it was quick to learn and make! I watched the video tutorials and they were really well explained! It's also a really great mother's day gift
Really liked making it! But it was my first time doing cross stitch and it was a bit difficult to follow the pattern. It's a lot of counting and I made a lot of mistakes.
I decided to use the pattern to make my own version of it. And I loved working on it!
This was such a great slow and easy craft kit today. It was nice to work on it a little each day. Only issue I had was that there wasn’t enough orange so I had to add more white and brown where it made sense to account for less orange. I read someone that they can send more yarn if you need it but it was my last colour and I didn’t want to wait for it to arrive.
But overall a great kit.
I had never tried latch hooking before but was very easy to learn using the instructions and watching the videos. I really enjoyed making the rug and have already purchased my next craft.
Love it! And I love that they give you room to add whatever bits and bobs you want to make it your own!
I’m pretty creative, but it’s so nice to have a piece I didn’t really have to think about - on my week nights especially - when I’m too spent to come up with something of my own or hobble together materials.
10/10
i use my planner every day!! helps me keep track of all of my extra yarn/supplies, making it easier for me to know versus going through my boxes. plus there’s cute little stickers & so much more that makes the journal extremely useful!
it doesn’t get easier than this!! my mom tried it with me as her first project — she thought it was a great beginner “taster” craft. have bought a few more to make for christmas gifts! 🥰
