Handmade Mart – Silver Spring, MD

hmm_125_125_general_bannerIndie crafters in the Silver Spring, Maryland area are convening at the Handmade Mart show, happening May 31 on Ellsworth Drive. More than 50 independent artisans and crafters will be selling their handmade goods between Fenton Avenue and Georgia Avenue. Along with an awesome array of vendors, the Handmade Mart will also feature a full day of live indie rock and hands-on workshops at the Pyramid Atlantic Store.

This show was created in part by Baltimore event organizer Kimberly Dorn of Hello Craft (creator of the Crafty Bastards show in Washington D.C.), so it should be extremely awesome.

Flower Cross Stitch Kits

If you’re eager to explore the world of embroidery, the  Embroidery Kit for Beginners is the perfect starting point. With an impressive rating and a variety of designs to choose from, this kit has everything you need to kickstart your embroidery journey.

Let’s dive into what makes this kit so great. It comes with three patterned embroidery fabrics, each adorned with a beautiful floral design. Alongside these fabrics, you’ll find an embroidery hoop to keep your fabric taut, three colored embroidery threads, and a generous supply of nine embroidery needles. Plus, the kit includes a comprehensive embroidery book, guiding you through 28 different stitches – perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills.

One of the standout features of this kit is its ease of use. The embroidery book provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions in English, covering everything from handling embroidery thread to framing the finished product. Each embroidery pattern is printed directly onto the fabric, making it simple to follow along and practice your stitches.

Additionally, the kit includes practice fabrics specifically designed for beginners. Composed of a blend of linen and cotton, these fabrics are thick enough to support your stitches while still being easy to work with. Plus, each embroidery thread is divided into six strands, giving you plenty of options for customization.
