Couture Embroidery Kit «Citron»

The kit does not include tools such as hoops, scissors...


The embroidery is based on a sketch of Citrus striatus by Johann Napp – a talented botanist specializing in the study of fruit and berry plant varieties.

• A piece of linen with the sketch printed on it. You don’t need to transfer the pattern onto the fabric and can start embroidering right away.
