I am a big fan of Frida Kahlo, this pattern was one of the very first I ever embroidered! There are 5 embroidery stitches in it, 2 of which are a bit more complicated but with some practice you will definitely get the hang of them!
 The package includes a detailed online manual that explains exactly how the stitches work, how to easily trace the pattern onto your canvas and all sorts of other tips and tricks. You also get access to a larger basic embroidery manual in which all the basic embroidery stitches are explained and you can find 10 other embroidery patterns.
 The pattern consists of 5 different basic stitches:
 Spiderweb stitch
 French knot
 Lazy daisy stitch
 Satin stitch
 Fishbone stitch
 All these stitches are explained using text, illustrations and videos so that even a complete beginner can master them in no time.

 After embroidering this pattern, you will still have a lot of embroidery thread left and all 5 embroidery stitches in this pattern mastered. With the water-soluble pattern drawing pen, you can draw extra patterns on a tote bag or clothing and make your own mini-embroideries with the leftover threads! The pen will last up to 2 years and everything you draw with it will wash out with a little water. So if you have also caught the embroidery virus, you can continue with the items from the kit even after embroidering Frida.
 Why is the pattern not printed on the canvas?
 To save money, it was decided not to pre-print the pattern on the canvas. I want to keep the embroidery kits affordable and adding a pattern drawing pen to the kit turned out to be a more economical choice than the alternative. Copying the pattern onto your canvas is an easy job, I show exactly how to do it with a video and discuss various techniques. You can then also use the pattern drawing pen to copy other patterns or even to draw your own pattern.
 About Daffie's Embroidery Kits
 I design/draw all the patterns myself, embroider the examples and also make the manuals that come with the kits myself. Because I also went through the process from complete beginner to advanced embroiderer, I hope to be able to easily teach others the finer points of embroidery. The embroidery kits are also all packed in the Netherlands at the Nora works foundation. People with a distance to the labor market work there and in this way can still participate in a protected environment at their own pace. With every kit ordered, the Nora Foundation also benefits directly, because they receive a portion of the profit. It is a wonderful initiative and I am therefore very happy with this collaboration!
 Vervaco sells kits with these patterns through its own channels worldwide. These also include manuals in many different languages. Note, these are packaged and distributed through Vervaco's channels and not by the Nora Works foundation. Manuals for the international kits are also made by Vervaco.
