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.
