Emma and I have taken step-by-step photographs of how to do the jersey (it is really easy to follow and to do) and the hair, which is also easy to make, as the close-up photographs will show you step-by-step :)

The completed piece… suitable for the beginner to this art form as I have written step-by-step lessons which will show you exactly what to do with close-up photography as a guide.

This beautiful new kit contains:

1. The embroidery panel with the image which is A3 in size, printed onto a very large 100% cotton (heirloom quality) cloth – ready to embroider. The large cloth will fit easily in your frame or hoop. 

2. The stumpwork panels to make the jersey and jeans separately and then to place on your embroidered piece. This results in a lovely three-dimensional effect.

3. The step–by-step lessons in full colour, written by Di van Niekerk, with close-up photography on every page.

3. Detailed colour pictures of the embroidered design which will guide you well.
