Puffin Embroidery Kit for Adults | Paisley Scottish Bird, 6-inch (15cm)

A puffin, drawn in paisley, on a hoop the size of a saucer.

Puffins are all beak and eyebrow, and the paisley treatment suits them — Sammy's bird is outlined in white and black with a bright orange beak, set against a deep sea blue that does the work of sky and water at once. It is the 6 inch version of Paraffle's Scottish puffin, so it is a finishable project rather than a commitment.

Five classic stitches, and that is the lot. The pattern arrives printed on adhesive Solvy paper — stick it to the fabric and stitch straight over the lines, no tracing needed. Each stitch is photographed in the guide, with a QR code through to a short video if you would rather watch someone do it first.

The finished puffin stays in its 6 inch hoop, ready to hang.
