Mini kits
These small kits contain everything you need to make your own matchbook needlecase, including two gold-plated needles to keep in it. The Hardanger is simple but elegant, easy enough for a first project (it comes with extra detailed instructions) but at the same time attractive enough to appeal to the experienced stitcher as a quick stitch between larger designs. Stitch the matchbook for yourself or as a gift for a fellow stitcher – or give them the kit to make it themselves!
Each kit contains a piece of pre-scored patterned card, felt, 2 gold-plated needles, Hardanger fabric, perle cotton, chart, detailed instructions and stitch diagrams.
Choose from three different designs, or get the set to practice all those basic stitches.
Please note that the colours of card and felt may differ from the pictures, so if you have any strong preferences or dislikes please contact us to find out which colours we have available.
Important! Please select your destination to be charged the correct postage. Choose the "Three kits" option to be charged the reduced set price & postage and receive bonus instructions for finishing the three designs as a bookmark with a decorative edge.
If you wish to order more than one of a single kit, or would like to buy squissors, coasters or a Mabel Original at the same time, please contact us about shipping before you order.

Acrylic coasters
Square acrylic coasters with elegant rounded corners. They measure 95mm with space for an 80mm insert and are just the right size for any of the Round Dozen designs worked on 25ct fabric, or Kaleidoscope on 22ct Hardanger (you can see a set of four coasters using Round the Year in the Gallery; scroll down from there for a set of Kaleidoscope coasters). They make wonderful personal gifts, or a decorative and practical addition to your own coffee table!
Reinforce your stitching with some iron-on interfacing on the back if desired, cut to size, place inside the coaster and snap shut (make sure you're happy with the placement of your stitching before closing the coaster as they are extremely difficult to take apart again).
Important! Please select your destination to be charged the correct postage. Postage is for one pair or set of four coasters – if you wish to order more, or if you would like to buy squissors, a mini kit or a Mabel Original at the same time, please contact us about shipping before you order.

Mabel Originals
From time to time we will offer some of Mabel's stitched models made up into bags, coasters and other items for people who would like to own (or give as a present) a piece of original design. Each of these designs has been stitched and finished by Mabel herself – every item is unique.
Important! Please select your destination to be charged the correct postage. If you wish to purchase more than one Mabel Original, or would like to buy squissors, coasters or a mini kit at the same time, please contact us about shipping before you order.
Shopping bags
Long-handled cotton shopping bags, 38cm x 43cm with a 10cm wide gusset all round. The designs have been hemmed with four-sided edging or blanket stitch and are attached with double running stitch. Every bag has a Mabel's Fancies label inside to identify it as a true Mabel Original.
Hand wash only in lukewarm water using a mild detergent if necessary.
