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.
