A band of wild flowers and bees runs across the front of a cotton cushion cover that is already made up and fitted with a zip. The design is printed on the fabric, so there is no counting: you stitch along the printed lines and the print washes away afterwards. Several different stitches are used, from satin stitch to French knots, so some experience of freestyle hand embroidery is helpful.
You will also want a hoop, moved from one area to the next as you work, and a small pair of scissors. The inner cushion pad is not included: once the embroidery is finished, simply slip in a 50 × 25 cm pad and close the zip.
