"If your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours."

- 'Carmilla', Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, 1872.

The 'Bittersweet Rose' embroidery design is a beautiful rose, made using only two stitches. It is perfect for all skill levels and has a little surprise...it is stitched on wool felt and is decorated with gorgeous glass beads. The finished piece is so dramatic.

The 'stick and sew' design outline makes it easy for you to get started quickly and gives you are perfect outline to follow.

Our kits have everything you need and the full-colour, 20-page instruction booklet guides you through the steps to create this stunning design. Choose to buy with or without the hoop.

Allow your creativity to flourish and use this kit to help develop your own style.

Let your individuality shine through!

More Details

The 'Bittersweet' design has been inspired by the portrayal of love and romance in Gothic literature, which usually comes with a twist. Love is powerful and intense, and when uncertainty arrives, calmness and tranquility are disrupted. Often aligned with loss, death and grief, love and romance in Gothic literature is tragic and bittersweet.

Let it inspire you to develop your own style. You don’t have to follow any trends, just use it as a stepping-stone to help you express your own identity. Take a step to create something different. You could even use it to upcycle old clothing and bags to give them a new and interesting life.
