Membership
We have a worldwide membership and are always happy to accept new members interested in 1/12th scale miniature needlework.
Please see our Membership page for more information
Starter Booklets
We sell a range of booklets covering 20 different needlework techniques specifically aimed at beginners or those wishing to learn a new skill. Each one has easy-to-follow instructions and at least one project. Please see the Starter Booklets page for more details and how to order.
We have also introduced Starter Kits for some of these techniques, which include the booklet and material/equipment to help you get started. THESE STARTER KITS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO BUY AT THE FAIRS WE ATTEND due to the material/thread colourways that they contain which vary from pack to pack.
