About this piece
A small embroidery project with plenty of character
If you're looking for a project you can finish over a few relaxed stitching sessions, this miniature black cat design is a lovely place to begin. Stitched inside a 10 cm (4 inch) hoop, it combines a curious black cat, a glowing full moon and autumn branches in one compact embroidery project.
Whether you're making it for yourself or stitching a thoughtful handmade gift, the smaller scale makes steady progress feel rewarding without becoming overwhelming.
Why you'll enjoy this kit
- A compact project that's easy to pick up whenever you have a little time.
- Clear printed instructions with stitch and colour guides.
- Beginner Guide included, with diagrams and embroidery tips for future projects.
- Quality DMC embroidery thread arranged on a thread card for easy stitching.
- Designed by Jessica Long, whose patterns are widely appreciated for their clear teaching style and thoughtful instructions.
Tiny Patio note
The Mini Catwalk kit includes access to Jessica Long's original Catwalk video tutorial, which demonstrates the full-size design featuring three cats. Although the layout shown in the video differs slightly from the mini version, it uses the same stitches and techniques, so the tutorial remains fully relevant while you stitch.
If you're completely new to embroidery, it's worth knowing that this tutorial focuses on constructing the design rather than introductory skills such as threading a needle or separating embroidery thread. Those fundamentals are covered in the included Beginner Guide.

You'll just need a pair of scissors before you begin.
