April’s Swatch of the Month design features the Variegated Stripe Stencil and embroidery stitches from The Geometry of Hand-Sewing which debuted in 2017. Variegated Stripe is our take on a classic stripe that provides visual interest with its contrasting stripes, and it provides a great base for intricate embroideries. (More inspiration to come next Thursday…)
Today, we reintroduce the Striped Frances T-Shirt Dress Kit, Striped Swing Skirt Kit, Striped T-Shirt Top Kit—a series of DIY Kits featuring the stencil design with embroidery stitches from The Geometry of Hand-Sewing. Also find popular beginner kits like the striped scarf or poncho to practice embroideries. View each kit below along with more maker supplies and inspiration.
