Note from the designer: "A sweet trio of smalls based on a teeny vintage sewing kit in my collection - there is a soft tray, a berry, and a needle book. The berry and needle book were a club project from 2020; this chartpak adds a third piece to that original pair."
Note from the designer: "This is a fun play on the alphabet with lots of spooky bits appearing in that little graveyard! The berry spells "Halloween" to pair up with the graveyard design. Both are mostly monochromatic black with a few DMC details."
Note from the designer: "One of two new "buttoned-up" designs, Hark! the Bells features a classic holiday color palette with a verse from a vintage Christmas card. The companion berry features those pretty border bands and the hand-dyed buttons are included."
Note from the designer: "This is the same buttoned up' format - a small pin pillow and companion berry, complete with hand-dyed buttons to embellish both pieces - but this speaks to the quiet and joy of a snowy, winter day."
