Peppermint Cocoa: Easy-Stitch Mini Kit
A great beginner applique kit that uses wool blends (see note on blends below). Peppermint Cocoa is perfect for making ornaments, gift tags, framed decor, napkin ring holders, bowl filler pillows--or whatever you can dream of creating! The design coordinates with the Mamie Mouse (peppermint treat bag) and Myrtle Mouse (greeting card cozy) from my Peppermint Christmas Collection.
Kit Includes
* Printed pattern and finishing instructions
* Suggested stitches with printed stitch instruction diagrams
* Placement diagram
* Enough wool blends to complete the project in the following colors:
- Berry Barn Red
- Mottled Grey Stone
- Gingerbread
- Mistletoe Green
- Aged Black
* Wool size guide (if you want to use the pattern with your own wools).
* Tips on how to incorporate my no-trace pattern method
Finished project size is approximately 3.25" x 4.25"
As thread colors are often a matter of personal choice, embroidery threads are NOT included in the kit. Here are the Valdani Perle 8 cotton threads I used for this project:
5 - Light Ecru
P1 - Old Brick
O126 - Old Cottage Grey
P4 - Aged White Light
JP8 - Spring Leaves
O154 - Dark Antique Golds
Original Embroidery Pattern AEP112 | Peppermint Cocoa
Peppermint Cocoa is one of three pieces in the "Mamie and Myrtle's Peppermint Christmas" series.
Your pattern is safely packaged in a recloseable poly zip bag and includes pattern, and suggested stitching guide instructions and diagrams, finishing instructions, and a full-size line drawing of the completed project for layout reference.
***BLENDS: The fabrics in this kit are a 25% wool/75% brushed Rayon blend. I often use these blends in many of my kits because they are easier to work with than 100% wools. I have many moms and grandmas who want to share their love of wool applique embroidery with their children and grandchildren--these blends offer a great starting point. As an option to 100% wool, my students find them more user friendly when just starting out--that includes several of my students in their eighties who enjoy the ease of cutting and stitching them!
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. It is my mission and passion to share my own love of traditional hand arts with others. Happy stitching!
***The skill level for this project is beginner; knowledge of basic embroidery stitches is recommended.
