Embroidery kits for children on Etsy

Portuguese reader Meri sent us this heads-up:

At Christmas this is a good shop for a little needlework gift for introducing embroidery to children !

And she is so right! Take the listing for the kit pictured here, for example:

What will you find inside this pink and blue taleigo (patchwork drawstring bag):
– needle;
– wood embroidery hoop;
– Portuguese, 100% cotton, pre-stamped fabric with a cornucopia (16cm x 16cm);
– Portuguese, 100% cotton floss – pink, yellow and green;
– “how-to” instructions in both Portuguese and English that will teach you the basic embroidery stitches;
– wood frame.

Our embroidery kits are treasured in “taleigos”: patchwork drawstring bags made with Portuguese traditional fabrics.

You’ll definitely want to check out the agulhanaopica Etsy shop. Thanks so much for letting us know about it, Meri!
