New kit: Sardinian knotted embroidery lavender sachet beginners kit

At the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, I will be debuting a new Sardinian knotted embroidery kit for beginners. At previous shows, people have wanted something small to learn on, so this has been specially designed for those people.

This lavender sachet features punt ‘e nù, which is a technique originating from Teulada in southern Sardinia. The step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams will take you through the process of working the embroidery.

The stitch used for Sardinian knotted embroidery is quite simple. The difficult part is putting the knots in the right place. This project uses linen with natural coloured threads for the weft, and white threads for the warp, which makes it easier to choose the correct place to insert the needle. As soon as I saw this linen banding I knew it would be perfect for beginners to learn on.

Embroidered lavender sachets are not only pretty to look at, they are also useful for keeping moths at bay, as lavender is a natural deterrent for moths. This project makes a beautiful gift – either for the recipient to stitch themselves, or as the finished product.

Because lavender is a plant product, and plant products can be difficult to send around the world due to quarantine regulations, dried lavender will not be included in kits posted to destinations outside of Australia. The price reflects this difference in the kit contents. You could dry your own lavender, use locally sourced dried lavender, or fill your sachet with any sort of dried flowers or potpourri.

Sardinian knotted embroidery lavender sachet beginners kits are now available to order from the website, but will not be sent until after the craft show finishes on 25th June. This is so that show attendees get first dibs, but of course, I don’t want others who don’t live anywhere near Sydney, to miss out!

Order yours now!
