Tiffin Slow Stitching Set

Let your imagination be your guide!

This curated set invites you to create intimate, hand-sewn treasures: a talisman or amulet, a tiny pouch, or a sachet. Or tear the muslin and make it into embroidered ribbons. Or consider a mini collage patch to gift or incorporate into a larger project. Let your imagination lead the way, adding a bead, charm, or even a twig to personalize your work. There are no set patterns.

Much like the meals traditionally carried in a tiffin, this set is meant to provide sustenance—not for your body, but for your imagination. 

What's inside:
