Create a useful pincushion while enjoying a satisfying hand-sewing project with the Cactus Pincushion Felt Craft Kit by Corinne Lapierre. This compact kit contains the materials you need to stitch one characterful cactus pincushion, with soft wool-mix felt, DMC embroidery threads and clear instructions to guide you through the project.

The finished cactus combines moss green felt with a warm sand-coloured pot and embroidered details that give the design its distinctive texture. Once completed, it measures approximately 7 x 9 cm, making it a practical little pincushion to keep beside you when hand sewing, embroidering, making Dorset buttons or working on other textile crafts.

Rated at intermediate level, the Cactus Pincushion Felt Craft Kit includes full-size templates, illustrated instructions and a stitch guide. It is a lovely small project for developing hand-sewing and embroidery skills while making something you can continue to use in your sewing space afterwards.

Corinne Lapierre designs and assembles her kits in Yorkshire, England, and uses recycled and recyclable materials where possible.
