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!
10/10 product!
Had the best time working on this! Instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I love that all the materials were provided - all I needed to do was open the box and I could get to work. The finished product is gorgeous too and is now proudly on display on my shelves :)

My first ever embroidery project/attempt and this kit had everything that I needed to go forward confidently. The instructions were amazing and easy to follow for a newbie like me. I now know not just one stitch but five!! Yay :D
I’m so happy with the end result and to have learnt a new skill with confidence.

Just loved getting back into embroidery with this embroidery kit
Just loved getting back into embroidery with this embroidery kit. Such a pleasure
Stitching the wildflowers,beautiful colours.
Love love love
This was such a beautiful way to get back into sewing after 25 years. It was such a beautiful pattern and the ease of instructions made me feel empowered to continue on my journey...so much so I ordered another two kits today.
slowly working through it so it’s not photo ready but it’s been a lot of fun and very easy ! i really love the layout of the instructions telling me how to do each flower separately. literally my only critique is one of the needle threaders broke almost instantly but the other one does the job still !

I looooooved doing this kit. It was so easy to follow and looks so cute in my daughters room. This kit kickstarted a love for the art of embroidery and I have purchased more and am branching out doing some of my own designs now too. 10/10!

I love this kit. I was looking to get into embroidery but I have a toddler sized shadow so I needed something that was easy to pick up and put down and was all contained. This is perfect. It comes with clear and easy instructions and it also comes with helpful videos in case you're a visual learner and aren't getting it from the written instructions. So helpful and makes me feel more competent than I probably am (just the confidence booster I need)

I have never been a very talented person at art but these kits are so fun and beginner friendly, I have purchased 8 kits from them now and I’m sure I’ll purchase many more! This embroidery kit was so fun and allows for a lot of creativity. Couldn’t recommend more
