Degas Little Dancer Embroidery Kit

Embroidery kit for beginners and advanced sewers alike. Inspired by Degas, this kit includes a piece of organic fabric with the design drawn on it. DMC threads (Oeko-Tex 100 certification) in the colors shown, a piece of sil and cotton voile for the skirt and an illustrated instruction card made on recycled paper and printed with soy inks.

Inspired by Degas Little Dancer statue at the Met museum in New York City, I have tried to follow Degas’ mixed media approach in my own translation of the dancer into embroidery form, complete with her own silk and cotton voile skirt.

My kits make beautiful gifts and come thoughtfully packaged in an organic cotton gift bag. It would be beautiful framed in a hoop or picture frame.

You will need embroidery scissors, an assorted packet of embroidery needles and an embroidery hoop to complete this kit. I do have a listing for an embroidery starter kit that includes all those items in a lovely organic cotton bag.

Embroidery is very relaxing and peaceful. it's great to take a break from screens and do something creative (of course you can do it while you watch TV too). : )

Embroidery has a long history, there are records going back thousands of years! It's fun to think you will be joining a long line of embroiderers as you start your kit.
I live in New York City and am so inspired by the beautiful scenes around me. I am excited to share my favorite spots in my designs. Look out for more designs in the coming months.

Please message me if you have any questions. Happy sewing!
