Love these kits! I've never embroidered before, but I found the instructions easy to follow and fun to complete. Would recommend this for fellow beginners!

I am loving stitching again! So relaxing. Instructions and kit very easy to use. Will definitely be buying more!
Cilla 5/5 Verified
I really enjoyed doing this. The kit was great, had everything and more with clear instructions and all at a reasonable price. Love the quirky sardines and hope they do more unusual themes as I’ve Christmas presents to buy
Rachel 5/5 Verified
Very fun and quirky pattern. I found it easy to stitch and I was able to complete it fairly quickly. Perfectly suited to my beginner level status.
Elizabeth 5/5 Verified
I really enjoyed making this little embroidery. I have previous experience with embroidery but haven’t done any for years…or maybe decades. I found the instructions quite clear and I think the link to videos would be great for beginners. I appreciated that the kit had extra needles and plenty of thread and that the thread was already put on the number card. I love the quirky design. Thanks for reigniting my love for embroidery!
Lesley 5/5 Verified
Loved it! Was easy to make and the online videos were helpful. Already bought another one to make for a friend!
Laura 5/5 Verified
This kit is so cute!! A bit challenging for a brand new beginner, but so fun. High quality, plenty of material, lovely instructions.
Rose 5/5 Verified
Taking my time to get the satin stitches right and work around the lettering so it really pops and looks neat.
Anna 5/5 Verified
A fantastic little kit! I am a complete beginner (had never even threaded a needle before) but saw this online and wanted to give it a try to get out of my nightly doom scrolling rut. I’m so pleased with how it’s come out - and I’ve already bought two more kits. Hugely recommended for anyone who is looking for a new hobby, regardless of experience level!
Claire 5/5 Verified
This was I first time I've done any embroidery (I normally do cross stitch) and I really enjoyed it. It's such a fun, colourful design.
Jo 5/5 Verified
This was a really enjoyable first embroidery project. The instructions and video resources were super helpful and I'm now hooked! Can't wait to begin a new project. I found it the perfect way to wind down and keep my hands busy without scrolling my phone at the end of a day. I've had the finished product framed to gift to a friend.
Stephanie 5/5 Verified
Such a cute design and a fun step up from some of the more simple kits without being intimidating. This is my 4th kit from Stitched up Kits and I have loved them all. The instructions are easy to follow and there is plenty of left over thread to fix up a mistake or make another project.
Noa 5/5 Verified
Great for beginners (this was my first patch), and for more advanced stitchers looking for fun patterns.

Lovely little self-explanatory kit
Eleanor 5/5 Verified
I bought the sardines tin in a Covid fever the other week when I was unwell and was a little surprised when it turned up as I had no memory. But I love it. It’s adorable. I’ll have to wait until I’m in the right frame of mind to start making it though.
Samantha 5/5 Verified
I have been enjoying embroidering it whilst on holiday in Cyprus - seemed the perfect place to make it! 😍
Louise 5/5 Verified
Have loved all the kits so far, but slightly surprised at how mini the mini was. From the photos they looked bigger. But cool to make. Would love then in the size of the jam and peanut butter. Looking forward to new designs! Will certainly order more. Cathy

Enjoyed learning a new craft, instead of watching tv it got my hands and brain working.
Brent 5/5 Verified
A beautifully presented kit. As a beginner, I feel very confident with the contents to jump in and start stitching.

It took a while for it to arrive. I emailed several times but only got a response once it had been delivered so I feel the customer service could be inproved
