Festive word embroidered napkins

Make a festive treasure, from your hands to their heart.

Stitching a special word adds heartfelt sentiment to a piece, making it truly yours.

In this workshop, you will embroider your choice of festive words on beautiful linen napkins, creating bespoke keepsakes. Our superb, large linen napkins are superior grade 100% French flax.

Gift to family or friends, use to wrap another present or grace your festive table with sentiments that show those you love what is in your heart.

Easily learn to master an essential embroidery stitch so you can embellish beautiful pieces with words you love. Please note, a little hand-stitching or embroidery experience will be required.

Embroidery is meditative and therapeutic and can help improve your mental and emotional health – especially at this crazy time of year!

  • your choice of 2 words from a curated handwritten selection of 15, all provided on soluble transfers. Take home another 4 words with your kit
  • how to begin and end your work on an heirloom piece
  • how to use soluble design transfers
