This little embroidery pattern is perfect to showcase texture in your stitches; the vintage beehive ‘skeps’ are ideal for this.

I chose complimentary colours from the colour wheel for this design as I wanted to include lavender, inspired by a gorgeous lavender farm in Norfolk.

Previously, used in a face to face class this pattern has now been converted into a full kit (so the pattern is provided as a peice of printed linen rather than a PDF).

The kit includes a 10” square piece of hand-printed antique linen together with the threads and instructions required to complete the pattern.

We have also enclosed a typed label as shown on the cover

The finished embroidery is approx 7cm at both of its widest points.

Note; because we antique linen then there will be variation in the colour, texture and weight from piece to piece.
