A pale blue Vespa scooter waits on a sunny Mediterranean street, framed by terracotta buildings, green vines and a pot of pink flowers. The finished piece stays in its bamboo hoop, so it's ready to hang as soon as you make the last stitch.

This kit is made by DMC, the French thread maker that has been producing embroidery floss since the 18th century. It's a great first project for new stitchers, with everything you need included.

Kit includes:

• 14-count Aida fabric in 100% cotton, 25 x 25 cm (9.8 x 9.8 in)
• DMC Mouliné Spécial six-strand embroidery floss, pre-sorted on a thread organizer
• 6-inch (15 cm) bamboo hoop for stitching and display
• Embroidery needle
• Multilingual instructions

Finished design measures approx. 5.6 x 4.3 in (14.2 x 10.8 cm).
