Winter 2022 Craftpod

The first project in the Winter 2022 Craftpod is a sweet soft sculpture Polar Bear. Once completed this bear stands about 6cm high and 12 cm long. He’s made with 100% wool felt and stuffed with soft Corriedale wool. He wears a smart felt scarf and a warm blanket, which is also made from wool felt, and embellished with embroidery.

In addition to the polar bear, we’ve included a beautiful free-standing backdrop for you to display him in front of. It’s an Arctic scene with magical Northern lights dancing in a celestial night sky. We’ve poked pin holes in the mapped out constellations so that they’re illuminated when placed in front of a light source. The constellations are shown in yellow and include Ursa Major and Minor (the bears), Taurus, Gemini, Leo and Virgo!

The second project is an embroidery of a wintry scene, featuring a cosy cabin, winter berries and seed heads. This embroidery is sewn onto brown linen and 100% wool felt, in a cute three inch wooden embroidery hoop, using four DMC cotton embroidery threads.

We’ve also included a stitch unpicker as a little extra. It makes a useful addition to any sewing box, and is very handy when it comes to unpicking unwanted stitches. And you'll find a delicious sachet of Earl Grey Tea to enjoy while you stitch.

Autumn 2022 Craftpod

The theme for the Autumn 2022 Craftpod is ‘FORAGE’. You will receive two cosy stitching projects to nourish you as the nights draw in.

We’re especially excited to share with you our custom printed fabric for both of these projects.

The design of the first project is of a foraging basket, and the food and foliage which has been collected in it. This project uses appliqué and embroidery which is stitched in a 6 inch hoop onto organic printed calico. We’ve included colours and textures for you to cut out to arrange on your foraging table and in your basket. You can have fun with this and come up with your own designs, or follow the suggested pattern shown. In addition, you could stitch little pieces of found twigs or dried foliage onto your hoop.

The second project is a handy little lined zip-up coin purse made from printed fabric designed by Immi especially for this box. It becomes just the right size for coins and a payment card to fit inside.

We’ve also included a recipe card for a yummy Hazelnut, Fig, and Apple Cake. This is a deliciously moist and nutty autumnal cake. You could add a teaspoon of ginger if you like a little extra warmth, or swop the figs out for pears. The recipe uses a cream cheese frosting, but you could alternatively enjoy it warm with custard, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt drizzled with honey.

You’ll also find a gorgeous vintage Chanterelle mushroom postcard, and of course tea to enjoy with your cake!

This is all neatly tucked into a Craftpod box, which fits through a standard sized letter box. Please note that shipping labels are stuck directly onto the box unless the gift bag shipping option is requested at checkout.

The projects are suitable for all levels of stitching as full colour photo step by step instructions are included.

Summer 2022 Craftpod

The Summer 2022 Craftpod is inspired by dreamy sunny days around a lily pond!

The first project is the beautiful iridescent Dragonfly Embroidery, which is stitched in a 5 inch wooden hoop, onto natural calico, with five gorgeous 100% cotton DMC embroidery threads.

This time, we’ve included a handy heat erasable pen for you to use to trace your pattern onto the calico with.

The second project is the very useful Lily Pad Pin Cushion. You’ll be making a sweet little felt water lily to sit on top of the lily pad. We’ve included a few mini pins with white tops, as they come in handy while cutting out your felt pieces, but they also look pretty on top of the finished pin cushion.

Amongst the contents, you’ll find included: a 5 inch wooden embroidery hoop, 5 x DMC embroidery silks, a mixture of 100% wool felts, and everything else that you need to create the two summer-themed projects, as well as extra little treats and of course tea!

The projects are suitable for all levels of stitching as full colour photo step by step instructions are included.

Spring 2022 Craftpod

In this Spring Craftpod you’ll find a theme of woodland spring flowers, luscious purples and greens, herbs, and a dear little animal!

The first project is a useful embroidered glasses/sunglasses case. The case is made up using a lovely black 100% linen, and is lined with calico and wadding to help protect your glasses. We’ve included two patterns for you to choose from, to embroider onto the front of your case.

Either of these embroidery designs could also be stitched into a 5 inch embroidery hoop. If there are any stitches which you’re unsure of, visit the Craftpod YouTube channel for short tutorials.

The second project is the ‘Little Lamb’ soft sculpture, made with 100% natural wool felt and Corriedale wool fleece. Add your finished lamb to a nature table arrangement, or carry it with you as a little ‘pocket friend’!

You’ll also find our ‘Herb Garden’ postcard and handy pocket notebook designed by Immi. And as always, we’ve included a delicious cup of tea to enjoy while you craft.

Winter 2021 Craftpod

Add a little extra warmth and cosy magic to your winter!

The first project is an embroidery and appliqué entitled ‘Starry Night Owl’... a barn owl flying over a wintery landscape, with a twinkling celestial background. This project is stitched onto 100% wool felt, in a rich navy colour, which is particularly satisfying to embroider all those stars onto.

The second project is the Owl Scissors Case, with embroidered details and made using three different coloured 100% wool felts. We’ve included a handy pair of gold coloured embroidery scissors for you to store in your brand new case. The handles of the scissors become the eyes of your owl.

We’ve also designed a little paper garland for you to assemble, featuring owls, toadstools and greenery. Simply cut out each item along the lines, and attach each one to the sage green baker’s twine using the miniature pegs, which you’ll find in one of the packets. Make a small loop at each end, then find a special place to hang it to bring even more owl magic to your home!

You’ll also find a delicious cup of Lemon Black Tea from the English Tea shop to enjoy while you craft.

Autumn 2021 Craftpod

In your craftpod you will also find, a gorgeous postcard designed exclusively for this box illustrated by the wonderful Hannah Bailey, a sweet rosehip enamel pin and of course, tea!

NB: This item contains superglue.

Summer 2021 Craftpod

The Summer 2021 Craftpod contains two summer themed projects to enjoy through the holiday months. You'll find the Wild Rose and Strawberry Embroidery with the pattern printed onto 100 % cotton fabric, ready to stitch with 7 DMC embroidery threads, in a 5 inch hoop.

Also included is the Liberty Fabric Bookmark project, using a gorgeous Tana Lawn fabric called Field Flowers. You'll be shown how to make a tassel to add to the top!

The projects are accompanied by detailed, full colour instructions so are suitable for any level.

We like to make each Craftpod feel like a special gift to yourself, so we've also added a handy Strawberry shopping list notepad, a Wild Strawberry vintage postcard and of course tea!
