Binca Economy Sewing Pack

Product Information

Create your own beautiful bookmark, decorated with bees and daisies, using our Bees Cross Stitch Pattern. Once we stitched the bee cross stitch pattern onto our binka, we finished the bookmark by sewing the binka onto a blue strip of 14 count aida before decorating around the outside with an embroidered blanket stitch. Our Cross Stitch Sewing Video Tutorial for textiles classes can be used to introduce children to cross stitch with close-up examples. In the video, children can see demonstrations of different techniques like: Rainbows are a beautiful, colourful symbol of hope. They brighten up the sky after a rainstorm, spreading light and wonder. Recreate your own archway of colour with this cute rainbow cloud craft for kids. Binca is suitable for a large needle to pass through, which is why children's plastic sewing needles, chunky or slim, are the perfect choice for young children to sew on binca with. Older children can use a metal sewing needle with a large eye for easy threading.

We have used 14 count aida to create our cute little rainbow cross stitch so only two strands of each embroidery floss are needed to complete each cross stitch. Stitch together a rainbow patterned butterfly with our symmetrical Butterfly Cross Stitch Pattern template, 6 count binka bright embroidery floss.

Start by letting children design their Christmas jumper, before giving them a square of binka, aida 7 or similar fabric. For this early sewing craft, make sure the holes in the fabric are well-spaced to develop children’s confidence with sewing. We think that wool, yarn or embroidery thread make ideal threads for children to use with binca. A finer thread would not be seen too well.We have used a 10 x 33 grid on 6 count binka to make the perfect sized bookmark. Our design includes a symmetical pattern of two bees and four daisies, but the beauty is that this pattern can be extended or shortened to fit your cross stitch grid. Make an extra special Birthday cake using our Birthday Cross Stitch Pattern template, 6 count Binka and colourful embroidery floss.

Large plastic needles are ideal for young children to use as they are safe and the holes in binca are large enough for the needle to pass though. Chunky needles are great for little fingers to grip, whereas slimmer ones are more suitable for those with a little more dexterity, wishing to create a specific stitch or design on the fabric. To create this cross stitch bookmark, you will need cross stitch fabric. This bookmark cross stitch pattern is a 10 x 33 cross stitch grid. This will give the correct finished pattern dimensions for an A5 bookmark when complete on Aida-6 or binka cross stitch fabric. You will see and hear cross stitch fabric referred to as having a ‘count’. The count of the cross stitch fabric tells you small the crosses created will be. The higher the count of a cross stitch fabric, the smaller the crosses required. The count of a fabric tells you how many cross stitches are in an inch of the fabric, so if you were using Aida 14 fabric for a cross stitch project, you would expect to stitch 14 cross stitches across to cover an inch of the fabric. This can help you to calculate the size of your finished cross stitch project.This How to Cross Stitch PowerPoint includes fantastic diagrams and step-by-step instructions for a detailed introduction to cross stitch. It’s a handy resource to use if your class haven’t tried cross stitching before, complete with handy diagrams to help them learn the basic techniques. However you make your cross stitch rainbow, we would love to see some of your finished designed and what you do with them!
