Backyard Barbie : Kit
AN EDITION OF 35 KITS
This is the second edition of Fiance’s Favourite Finds. The first edition Acid Reign was an edition of 20, and I was blown away when they all sold out in 20 minutes!
Carefully and lovingly curated, these kits contain everything you need to create your own embroidered piece. Limited to 35 and never to be created in the same way, this edition is called BACKYARD BARBIE.
IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT MATTERS.
Although still in process, I can share some things! As a little taster, in this kit, there are two pieces of Russian linen. I get the linen washed and pre-shrunk. The obnoxiously green linen has been professionally stretched on a wooden frame which is also reusable.
Lichen and Leaf will be creating needle-keepers again, but this time they are going to be ceramic. I have sourced industrial magnets, so the attraction levels are going to be both in looks and science!
A special Backyard Barbie print will be added to the kit and all stationery is printed on riso with Dream Press.
For threads, I have added two brands. There are 16 colours of Bamboo yarn, hand-dyed in Cape Town by Vinni. Vinni’s Colours is a women-run business started by Vinni herself in a Kitchen some years ago. She had a love for knitting and crotchet but found the colours available at her local wool shop boring so as one does, she started to dye her own threads. Now she runs a well-respected factory and creates employment for women in the area. The lustre on this 8 strand bamboo is stunning and it is so smooth to work with! We also have 2 twists of cotton from House of Embroidery, one from the Tropicana range (who remembers that fruity milk drink!?) and a variegated Backyard Barbie orange, specially dyed for us, never to be made again!
I’ve added the LDH prism snips again because they are unbeatable as well as velvet pencils because we deserve to feel regal with our HBs!
The list goes on!
Hoops, shweshwe and Kaffe Fasset cotton fats (fabric squares), chunky green washi tape, a variety of pens, pencils and papers. All of this so that you can start sewing immediately.

SHIPPING
This price includes international priority shipping worldwide!
A little note on the shipping: Shipping is included in the price so that there are no checkout frights. To guarantee the safe delivery of my artworks, products and prints I have opted to only ship with the Local & International Priority Shipping service. This means you’ll receive a tracking number and receive your order in little to no time, as opposed to the local South African Postal Service where I’ve experienced too many headaches with delays and missing parcels in the past.
