They are ornately decorated with appliqué floral inspired designs in contrasting colours and stitches. Perhaps the reason for the Folk Birds popularity is its versatility as the birds can be hung from a mobile, as a garland or individually dotted around the house or garden room to bring nature and colour indoors. The birds could even be filled with dried lavender and made into deliciously fragrant decorations As always, Corinne Lapierre kits contain everything needed to complete the project including incredibly soft wool-mix felt in the beautiful colours which she is famous for. This kit is particularly suitable for beginners and the embroidery can be as simple or elaborate as desired. It’s also an especially good set to teach someone to sew and embroider and they’ll be reminded of that special shared experience every time see it. It comes in a gorgeous folk printed recyclable box and makes for a very eye-catching display. +44 (0)1132 460 403 trade@corinnelapierre.com www.corinnelapierre.com BACHMANN EUROPE PLC Creative kids and adults can take their first steps towards model making with the precoloured 3D wooden puzzles from Toyway.
