Inspired by my my love of stitching and snail mail Miniature Rhino Pattern Club aims to get you out of your head, off your screen and immersed in hands-on making just for the joy of making.
This listing is for a one time drop stitch kit from MR Pattern Club, a quarterly stitch subscription featuring bold, original patterns silkscreened onto sustainable materials and sent in thoughtful, low-waste packaging.
This bandana-inspired pattern is silk screened on a burgundy cotton fabric sustainably sourced from a creative reuse center. Pattern lines are printed in a dashed line for the most flexibility. They can be stitched over with the running stitch, backstitch, chain stitch (three of my favorites), or any stitch you prefer. There's no one right way to make these samplers & each invites you to explore your own creativity.
You will also PDF & video instructions with directions on creating a reversible piece with a hand-sewn bound edge.
DETAILS
- ONE burgundy (darker color fabric in photos) original silk screened 14 x 14 patterns. Printed locally in NY by another one-woman small business, Better Than Jam.
- Two skeins of 100% cotton Olympus sashiko thread in blue & creme.
- Instructions in PDF & video format.
- NOTE: Printed lines are gray on burgundy. The tone of printing can make the lines difficult to see in artificial or dim lighting. Day light and bright light in general are helpful for stitching this piece.
What else will I need?
- Backing Fabric. I highly recommend a backing, like you see in the photos (yellow fabric). I find it helpful to back my pieces with another piece of fabric to stabilize and make my pieces double sided.
- Needles. I love Olympus Sashiko Needles, but embroidery needles work too!
- Scissors.
- Embroidery hoop. (optional) I don't use one for the running stitching, but would be helpful if you'd like to use other stitches. I'd love to see you go off & make this your own! Use of a hoop just depends on your preferred stitch style.
