Deep within the gardens of a forgotten château, where old roses tumble over crumbling stone walls and the evening air smells faintly of petals and rain, lives a very small mouse with a great fondness for roses.
She spends her days gathering blooms from the overgrown paths, tucking velvet-soft petals into her crown and carrying armfuls of flowers back to her hidden corner of the garden. If you are very quiet, you might just catch sight of her amongst the climbing roses, pink skirts brushing the grass as she disappears into the shadows.
Now you can bring her to life yourself.
This enchanting sewing kit contains everything you need to create your own Château des Roses Mouse, dressed in a blush-pink tulle skirt, a soft knitted shrug and a crown of tiny felt roses. In her paw she carries a delicate crepe-paper rose, inspired by the faded gardens of old French châteaux.
Designed for makers who long for a little quiet magic, this is a gentle, story-rich project that celebrates slow stitching, beautiful materials and the simple joy of creating something by hand.

A little piece of a forgotten rose garden, ready to be stitched into being.
Please note: This is a craft kit containing the materials and instructions to make the mouse yourself. You are not purchasing a finished mouse.
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.

Felt turret embroidery kit, to create your own hand-stitched trio of softly detailed towers.
A small world to be made, slowly and with pleasure. This kit invites you to stitch your own gathering of storybook turrets, each one gently shaped from felt and brought to life with delicate embroidery.
Designed with a calm, considered palette, the trio features softened blue, quiet grey, and a warm dusky rose, all set against natural ivory felt. Fine stitching traces trailing vines, tiny blossoms, and thoughtful details that emerge stitch by stitch, allowing the process to unfold at an unhurried pace.
There is something deeply satisfying in their construction, the rhythm of needle through fabric, the gradual forming of shape, the quiet focus it brings. As each turret takes form, what begins as simple materials becomes something textured, tactile, and entirely your own.
Once complete, they sit companionably together; a trio that lends a gentle, fairytale quality to a shelf, a sewing corner, or a quiet space set aside for making.
Created for those who delight in slow stitching, soft colours, and the small rituals of time spent well, this is a kit to savour as much as the finished pieces themselves.
