A Little History: Needlepoint Through the Ages
Needlepoint might feel like the height of vintage cool, but this timeless craft has been stitched into history for centuries. Originally used to embellish household décor and even tapestries for royalty, it grew in popularity during the Victorian era — when stitching was both a practical skill and a relaxing pastime.
Today, needlepoint has been lovingly revived by modern makers who adore its meditative rhythm and vibrant design potential. In this kit, we’re giving it a sunny twist — with punchy colours, tactile textures, and a chic, flexible finish.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stitcher, this is a project that’s joyful, achievable, and full of personality.
The Perfect Craft Companion for Summer
There’s something special about crafting in the sun — and this project is designed with that in mind.
Lightweight, compact, and delightfully simple to pick up and put down, your Needlepoint Sunglasses Case kit is perfect to take with you anywhere: the beach, a picnic, your favourite café, or even just your garden chair. It’s the ultimate slow summer craft.
Not a sunglasses wearer? No problem! This little pouch is ideal for storing crochet hooks, pencils, or any other small crafty bits. A fun, flexible make that works your way.
