Hand embroidery kit to make a goldwork and beaded Christmas mittens decoration. This kit is an original design by embroidery artist Hannah Mansfield /The Perpetual Maker. The kit includes full instructions and all the materials needed to create the decoration. The instructions cover two options for transferring the design to the fabric, prick and pounce and the tacking transfer method as well as goldwork and beading techniques. Goldwork techniques covered include, applying padding, using pearl purl and purls. You will also learn how to make the embroidery into a neatly finished decoration.


You can choose out of two colour ways for this kit, the gold colour way or the or silver colour way. Please select the colour way you would like to order from the drop down menu. 

This kit is suitable for intermediate level embroiderers/sewers. It is useful if you have some knowledge of hand sewing as goldwork is a slightly more advanced embroidery technique.

A design on tissue paper for the tacking transfer method.
A design in paper pre-pricked with holes for the prick and pounce transfer method.

Beads in three colours.
