Wilderstitch is a little world of heirloom sewing kits, made for people who want to make something beautiful with their own hands.
Each kit combines traditional hand-stitching, beautiful fabrics and trimmings, and fully illustrated, wonderfully straightforward instructions. No intimidating techniques, no sewing-machine wizardry, just slow, satisfying making and something rather lovely at the end of it.

Little things to stitch, keep, give away - or quietly refuse to part with.
The Sugarplum Château — Festive Sewing Pattern Collection | PDF Download
Welcome to The Sugarplum Château — a gloriously faded little Christmas world of old gold crowns, dusty plum tulle, tiny mice and one rather magical Sugarplum Fairy.
This is a 29 page digital sewing pattern collection, created for slow winter afternoons, pots of tea, old films and the delicious pleasure of making something entirely by hand.
Inside the Château you’ll make:
The Sugarplum Fairy — with embroidered wings, layers of faded tulle and lace, tiny stitched boots and her little golden crown.
The Mouse King — a splendid fellow in golden trousers, embroidered coat, lace ruff and crown.
The Mouse Queen — dressed in plum and mauve with beautiful embroidered details and her own tiny crown.
The Garland of Five Ballet Mice — five little crowned dancers in tulle skirts, ready to string together with ribbon and whatever extra fancies you happen to have tucked away.
Your PDF includes
Beautifully illustrated, step-by-step making instructions, full-size printable templates, embroidery designs and inspiration, a stitch guide and all the guidance you need to make the complete Sugarplum Château collection.
The patterns have been designed to be approachable rather than frightening. You don’t need to be an expert stitcher — a little patience, a needle and thread, and a willingness to make something slightly wonky and utterly lovely will do very nicely.
A note about materials
The Sugarplum Château was designed with faded fabrics, old lace, bamboo-blend cotton wadding, wool-blend felt, tulle, embroidery threads and little scraps of treasured haberdashery.
Please don’t feel everything has to match mine exactly. In fact, I rather hope it doesn’t. Rummage through old sewing boxes, rescue forgotten ribbons and use those peculiar little scraps that have been waiting years for their moment.
And if your sewing box needs a little assistance, The Wilderstitch Haberdashery is opening very soon, with many of the lovely materials and trimmings used throughout the Château.

Wilderstitch
Handcrafted felt crown objet, adorned with delicate floral embroidery and finished with a ribbon tie at the back.
Cut from softly structured ivory felt, this piece carries a quiet, almost storybook stillness, its gentle peaks rising like something half-remembered, half-imagined. It is not made to be worn, but to be kept…to sit companionably among the things you love.
Across the front, fine hand stitching traces a slender trail of green, leading to a single blush-pink bloom. The colours are deliberately hushed - powdered, milky, and easy on the eye, inviting a slower gaze, much like the rhythm of needle and thread itself.
At the back, a soft ribbon ties loosely, its ends falling with an unstudied grace, adding a sense of movement and softness even in stillness.
Placed beside a favourite teacup, on a shelf of well-thumbed books, or within a quiet corner of your making space, it lends a gentle enchantment to the everyday. A small, beautiful thing to live with, evoking the pleasure of slow afternoons, of stitching by hand, of something sweet on a plate, and time that feels entirely your own.

Patisserie Mouse Complete Sewing Kit
A complete hand-sewing kit containing everything you need to make Polly, her pretty pâtisserie outfit and her collection of tiny stitched cakes.
Suitable for beginners and experienced stitchers alike, you'll receive the fabrics, felt, stuffing, threads, trims and little notions you need, together with full-size templates and beautifully illustrated step-by-step Wilderstitch instructions.
And Polly doesn't arrive in any old craft-kit packaging.
Your kit comes in its own old-fashioned pâtisserie style bag, folded and tied with string, finished with a blush-pink wax seal and Polly's own shop tag. It looks rather as though someone has just nipped into No. 1, Rue des Souris and brought you back a little something — the sort of bag that really ought to have a faint dusting of icing sugar at the bottom.
Inside, an afternoon of gentle pottering awaits.
Polly is made slowly and simply by hand, from the tips of her soft little ears to her apron and chef's hat. Nothing frightening, nothing requiring a degree in couture, just cutting, stuffing and stitching, and the deeply satisfying business of watching a small mouse gradually come to life beneath your fingers.
And because no self-respecting pâtissière should be expected to work without cake, you'll make Polly's tiny confections too, deliciously unnecessary little things which are, naturally, half the fun.
Put the kettle on. Find something nice to eat. Scatter your threads across the table and disappear to the Rue des Souris for an afternoon.
Polly's Patisserie is open.
No. 1, Rue des Souris
