knits, bakes & more

I purchased this piece from homesixno together with a few others and this turned out to be a fast & simple project.

A few things though…

• The roses need to be done first but be careful about snagging. It *will* happen.
• French knots requires two hands – they will be neater that way.
• The fabric is thin – this would have worked better if it was done on a thicker fabric.

If you plan to get this from homesixno, be sure to check if this comes with a hoop – I order this together with another three kits so I can’t be sure if this one comes with or without a hoop. Hm.

Where do find these pieces?

There are plenty of embroidery kits floating around on Shopee and Lazada. While prices on Lazada are cheaper (about RM2-4 less), options are limited and some kits don’t provide hoops.

Local stores:

• ✿ Dreamy DIY ✿ Craft ✿ Art ✿ – based in Sarawak, sells kits and hoops too, etc
• Happy Go WeDDing婚嫁喜铺子 – good place to get DMC threads, needles and canvas; limited kits for sale

Overseas stores:

• homesixno1.my – lots of options for hooped pieces but some pieces don’t come with hoops
• shisanyi.my – good if you’re looking for a variety of pieces such as coasters, amulets, perfume bags, etc
