Inside is all the thread you'll need (though I added some as I wanted some different colours), a stitch guide and the pre-printed fabric which is printed in full-colour as the embroidery is sparse.
These kits are definitely suitable for beginners, but also great fun for those of us that have some embroidery experience. I didn't stick exactly to the stitch guide, but chose different stitches in some places as the fancy took me.
I bought three flexi-hoops on e-bay to frame them. I would have loved wooden ones but you can't get them in the right dimensions for these little kits. Now I just have 2 more to stitch up, but I've told myself I can't do any more until I've finished some WIPs. Wonder how long that little promise will last?

How sweet! These look like perfect little kits.
its beautiful! cant wait to see the whole set
These kits look great fun. You've done a good job on the first one. I can imagine it's hard to resist the temptation to make a start on the other two :-)
What a super kit, the finished embroidery is delightful
What beautiful kits Wendy and the one you have finished looks beautiful in its frame! Christine x
Oh that's lovely. I can imagine you are itching to do the other too. It looks lovely Framed in the hoop too. Hope you're feeling a bit better too.
What a lovely project. (I think you should just go for it and do the others too, but then, I have no willpower!) I have just had a look on the website and am totally smitten by the cat embroidery - it is on my wish list!
Best wishes and happy crafting (whichever project is next)

Your embroidery is beautiful, it will make such beautiful wall art! I love those flexiframes, they give you such great tension when you're stitching. Looking forward to seeing the next two in the series :) x
The kits are adorable.
So cute!

Cute, I love the idea of being able to embroider the bag too.
Ohh those are so beautiful! If they don't take long to do you have them done in no time!
Oh my goodness, these are so cute! I might just have to look into buying some for myself :D
such a pretty bird! lovely kits and I like the bag too.
This is lovely Wendy, think I´m going to have a look at these kits.
That's adorable! I hadn't heard of Birdie kits or Nancy Nicholson so I've just opened up her website. Interesting......! :)
