Description
Kantha is a hand stitching technique that originated in India. It was used to join several layers of sari silk together to make bedding. A running stitch was used to create representational and abstract images. This hand sewing kit uses the same techniques used hundreds of years ago. The kit contains a full size pattern of a majestic elephant stitched using running stitch onto a white background.
The pattern needs to be transferred onto the white fabric and then two layers of cotton muslin is provided to place under the marked cotton fabric. These layers will then be tacked together. There are full stitch instructions which can be followed when starting to use a running stitch. The elephant is 8cm high and 10cm wide when stitched.
