A craft kit with a cause — and a genuinely practical finished result. The Battersea Dogs Embroidery Tote Bag Kit is produced under licence from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, the UK's most famous animal rescue charity, and brings their iconic branding and heartwarming imagery to a hand embroidery project that produces something you will actually want to use every day. The finished tote bag is both a completed piece of hand stitching and a fully functional bag — practical, personal, and a quietly proud statement of support for rescue animals.
The kit contains everything needed to complete the embroidery from scratch — no additional materials required. The tote bag comes pre-printed with the dog design, so there is no transferring, tracing, or drawing required before stitching begins. The printed design acts as a guide throughout, making it accessible for complete beginners while still being a satisfying and absorbing project for more experienced embroiderers.
Embroidery has experienced a genuine revival in recent years, with a new generation of makers discovering the meditative pleasure of hand stitching — the focus it demands, the rhythm of the needle, and the satisfaction of watching an image emerge slowly in thread. This kit makes an excellent introduction to the craft, and an equally excellent project for anyone already familiar with embroidery who wants to make something both beautiful and useful.
Battersea has been caring for dogs and cats since 1860, taking in animals that need help, giving them expert care, and finding them the right homes. A portion of all sales from the Battersea licensed product range supports the charity's ongoing work.
Contents: Pre-printed cotton tote bag, embroidery threads, needle, needle threader, and instructions.
