This mini hand embroidery kit is a great weekend project, featuring a charming folk-style fox design that stitches up into a lovely piece of hoop art. Its smaller size makes it an easy, low-commitment way to try embroidery for the first time, or a quick, satisfying project for an evening or two if you're already a stitcher.
