      Thank you Clothkits, for once again coming up with a solution.  I pre-ordered the stick and stitch embroidery designs to use to decorate repairs to favourite garments.  They've arrived and they are perfect! I thouht I'd be waiting weeks and weeks but they arrived so quickly.   I would, ordinarily say, 'how did I ever manage without you?', but, of course, I didn't.   I was buying Clothkits for my babies 40 years ago!
      Reply from:  Clothkits (20.05.2025) Oh how lovely, that is one of the nicest reviews to receive, Helen! Thank you so much, all us Clothkittens are beaming here :-) Hope you have lots of fun sticking and stitching . Very best wishes, Kay
