The directions with the kit are great!
"Amazing! I’ve started working on this project and absolutely love it!
The directions with the kit are great! The thread colors are so happy and fun! I love being able to go to YouTube and watch how the stitches are done again to ensure I’m on the right track. Thank you so much!
This is such a good kit to help me refresh my embroidery skills and build some confidence. I love it! Keep up the good work!"

Shop embroidery kitsMy first embroidery project is now on display!
"This was my first embroidery project, so I was grateful for the helpful "how to" that came along with the kit. I also knew that I could reference the Penguin and Fish YouTube videos for assistance. The videos were SUPER helpful. I am a visual learner, so being able to see how to do something, stop and pause the video where I felt stuck was super helpful in allowing me to understand the flow of embroidery. I learned a lot of useful tips.
I had so much fun, I got lost in the project and was eager to finish! I did my kit on a tea towel that I purchased from Penguin and Fish and gave it to my Mom as a gift, she is hanging it at the house next to her tea cups and saucers on display. Thank you for making my first attempt at embroidery fun and approachable!"

"Before coming to Penguin & Fish I did a little embroidery and sewing to make quilts and made a few purses.
I can't remember exactly when I came across Penguin & fish site but I kept coming back because I learned better ways of doing embroidery stitches. I learned new stitches from Alyssa [owner of Penguin & Fish] who made it simple and easy and enjoyable. I am willing to tackle more difficult patterns, And I do a lot more."

Shop embroidery kitsHi! Alyssa here.
I love making things. I learned how to crochet doilies sitting next to my grandma and made my first quilt with my mom. As an illustrator, I've designed fabric, illustrated a children’s book, and created greeting cards. Now I love to turn my drawings into embroideries!
