This was my first project, after completing the Beginner Sampler. These kits are so cute and the videos are done in a fun and straightforward way. I’ve learned a lot in a little bit of time. I’ve already come back to stock up on more. Keep the new kits coming!
This was my very first time doing embroidery and I absolutely loved it! The flora the cat design is so cute and the video tutorials were amazing! I immediately bought 2 more kits. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into embroidery!
Beautiful desgin, I plan to repeat on different fabric using different coloured floss. Easy to follow instructions from downloadable pdf. I really loved stitching this pattern on an afternoon when I needed to switch my chattering brain off :)
Excellent! This kit and the accompanying videos are the perfect way to get started
with embroidery. I’m loving them so much! Honestly really helpful and fun! Thank you!
I brought my Flora the cat kit on vacation with me to a little cottage on a lake. It was a perfect little project to work on while unwinding on vacation. I have found embroidery to be very mindful and calming. The instructions are so easy to follow and the videos are so helpful. And when you’re done, you have this adorable little piece of art to display. I have recommended this to so many people already!
Embroidering the cat with floral crown was do much fun. She is so cute, the video taught me so much, and all the supplies were provided and top notch!
This is my first time embroidering and I absolutely LOVED this kit! Not only is the design so cute and creative, but the step-by-step guide is amazing. It gave me the confidence I needed to finish the project. I can’t wait to buy more from Clever Poppy
This was my first ever embroidery experience and I LOVED it. I have to say that I e never had more fun, concise video instructions in any other craft. I didn’t enjoy my dull scissors, but I persevered! The project looks like a pro did it and my friends loved it.
Kit had everything needed. Videos were very detailed and helpful. A positive experience all around!
This was my second beginner kit, and I now feel ready to tackle almost anything! The videos made every stitch doable, and the finished product is so gratifying. I’ve often thought I would do something crafty until the box arrived, and I was overwhelmed. Clever Poppy seemed to know I needed encouragement every step of the way.
Thank to all your wonderful videos it was a breeze!! I really had fun doing this. I loved learning the “rose”!
Loved doing the flowers! They require patience and focus but are simple enough to grasp. I had fun with this one
Loved this fun project so much I bought two more!! It's cute and fun and the videos are super easy tutorials. I've already got it hanging on my wall :) would be super helpful to include needle threaders in the kit! I ordered some on Amazon and that really helped. Threading the needle without one is basically impossible imo haha have fun!
I just started this project. This is the first time I have traced a pattern on the cloth, but it worked fine. I think I know most of the stitches, but I will have to learn how to make the roses. I've looked at the video, and I think I can figure it out.
Such a cute picture for the cat lover in my family. Turned out adorable. Thank you!
Great product, bought for my friends daughter who loves crafting. Speedy delivery
I loved starting out my new embroidery hobby with Flora the Cat. The videos were so helpful to follow along while learning something new, which can be daunting and scary. Clever Poppy made it relaxing and fun. I’m so proud of myself with my Flora the Cat embroidery!
If you want to get into embroidery but feel overwhelmed about where to start, or you're intimidated - like I was - because you're generally terrible at crafts, and everything you touch turns into misshapen sadness - this is it. Try this. It makes the process of learning as simple and pleasurable as it can possibly be.
This is an adorable item. Thanks so much.
This was a lot of fun and it turned out surprisingly good.
I'm hooked!
So cute! Cant wait to see these complete!
Aside from the cutest images, Clever Poppy has been a great introduction to embroidery. The step by step videos are thorough & so helpful. I’ve completed six projects now.
Tutorials are fabulous!!!
