March "Enticed by the Spring Breeze" Embroidery Kit by Alice Makabe

Stitch the golden glow of early spring in Japan. As the first warm breezes of spring arrive, so do the sights and sounds of the season—including the Uguisu (Japanese Bush-Warbler), a songbird that welcomes March with its delicate, melodic call. Drawn to the nectar of golden Osmanthus flowers, this little bird is a true symbol of spring’s arrival. Designed by Alice Makabe, this embroidery kit brings the season to life with layered textures and thoughtful stitchwork. It’s a free stitch project, meaning there’s no rigid stitch chart—just pre-printed fabric and a curated selection of threads, ready for you to interpret in your own way. Perfect for intermediate stitchers, but if you’re a bold beginner eager to experiment with thread colors and stitch techniques, this is a great way to dive in! What’s Inside: 100% cotton DMC No. 25 embroidery thread skeins Pre-printed linen embroidery cloth No. 9 embroidery needle Instructions written in Japanese, with detailed illustrations for guidance
