The design comes already printed in colour on the fabric, so you stitch straight onto it following the diagram, which shows stitch by stitch how to work the leaves, the stems, the seed heads and the bird's plumage. Beads, sequins and ribbon add texture and little highlights, so the piece grows quickly and stays varied right to the end.
It suits anyone who knows a few basic stitches and would like to try new ones, with a clear chart to follow along the way. An embroidery hoop and small sharp scissors are not included and make the work much easier. Once finished, the panel is ready to frame; the frame shown is not part of the kit.
