We are absolutely fascinated by this Sampler Stitching Kit from Corinne Lapierre. Rather than just stitching a single picture to hang on the wall, this kit allows you to create a tactile, multi-page "sampler book" that you can keep in your sewing basket forever. It’s an incredible way to discover over 40 different embroidery stitches -many of which have never appeared in a Corinne Lapierre design before. As you work through the pages, you’re literally building a library of skills that you can refer back to for years to come. Inside the kit, you’ll find a high-quality printed linen panel that takes all the guesswork out of where to put your needle. There's everything included you need to get started: a sturdy 19cm wooden hoop to keep your fabric drum-tight, plenty of genuine DMC embroidery thread in those signature sophisticated shades, and, of course, a needle. The finished book measures approximately 21 x 17 cm, making it a substantial, heirloom-quality piece that feels wonderful to hold. A personal journey in every stitch We’ve rated this for everyone from Beginners to Confident makers. If you’re a beginner, think of this as your "embroidery university" - it’s the perfect way to learn everything from basic backstitch to more complex textured flourishes. For the more seasoned stitcher, it’s a lovely, mindful way to challenge yourself and perhaps learn a new favourite technique. What we love most is that it can be easily personalised, making it a truly thoughtful gift for a crafty friend or a beautiful keepsake to mark your own "stitching journey." The instructions and stitch guide are wonderfully illustrated and very easy to follow and it’s an authentic, slow-craft project that celebrates the remarkable skills we pick up along the way. Put the kettle on, pick up your hoop, and let’s start page one! What's Inside the Kit? Carefully curated - this kit ensures you will have a truly enjoyable crafting experience.
