House Embroidery Template

House is a large, embroidery template. 

Illustrated by me Jessie, using some of my absolute favourite images from my own sketch book pages. This design is hugely inpsired by my drawing days at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, London. It takes inspiration from the many dolls houses within the museums collection.

The design, printed in my favourite shade of blue ink, celebrates two of my favourite techniques, hand stitching and fine needle-turned appliqué. I hope that you too can find joy in the process of slow stitching and making marks with your needles, threads and fabrics to create your own unique stitched story.

In my own version of this design, I plan to cover the print almost entirely with stitches, leaving none of the template visible. Whether or not you choose to leave any of the print showing is a matter of personal preference.

Once complete this project can be framed, I would suggest in a large box frame. It could also be made into a wall hanging. This slow stitch project also makes a beautiful gift for a beloved friend or family member.

This item can be washed.
