With this kit, you can repair or decorate garments with a butterfly! It's also a great gift set for someone who wants to start creative mending.
With water-soluble stabilizer, you can trace the butterfly in the size you need, attach it over a hole or stain, or wherever you want to decorate, and then embroider. Afterward, rinse off the sheet in water.
The kit includes
- Booklet with instructions, including embroidery stitches suitable for the project and illustrations of the motif in several sizes
- 4 skeins of Olympus embroidery floss
- 1 sheet of water-soluble stabilizer (Soluvlies) approx. A5
- 1 sheet of water-soluble stabilizer with adhesive (Solufix) approx. A5
- 3 needles - 1 tapestry, 1 chenille, 1 embroidery
- 2 fabric swatches in different materials
I recommend using reinforcement with fabric similar to the garment you are embroidering on. The included swatches might not suit your project, but we try to choose versatile fabrics, such as a woven fabric (for linen, chinos, jeans, etc.) and a jersey-like fabric (for sweatpants or similar).
Single socks are a good option for reinforcement/patches in stretch garments, and old sheets or jeans, etc., can work well as patches in woven garments.
