Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 30 reviews.
So happy with this kit. I got the cauldron needle minder and bat bobbins. Can't wait to start stitching. I love the kits. Their so easy to start stitching everything you need is right there. Just need a pair of scissors ✂️ and a cup of coffee ☕️. ❤️
Really nice kit. Perfectly Halloweeny. Love the bat bobbins, although I will use them as decorations rather than as bobbins. Everything came nicely packaged. Will be going back for more.
Very disapointed with the quality of the linen provided. I hope the pattern will not disappoint, the first part is super cute so I hope it carries on like that. For sure, I’m changing the linen though
