Pusheen: A Cross-Stitch Kit (RP Minis)

The PSA: Read the instructions. I see a few reciews saying the thread is too thick, and thats because it is. The instructions says to cut a piece about 18inches long then seperate the 6 strands that make up the thread. This makes it useable and the amount of the thread given in this kit is way more than enough for the three patterns it gives. The good: A fun way to pass the time. The instructions are straight forward and there is PLENTY of thread to make even more than the three patterns the kit comes with. The patterns are super cute and simple for a beginner like me. The middle: I didn't have too much trouble with the smallness of the pattern, but I can see how someone with worse eyesight might have trouble seeing and counting stitches. There are only three patterns to pick from and two of them involve a donut. While they are super cute, it would have been nice to have more to pick from. A needle threader would've been nice to include, but its not too hard as long as you seperate the thread into 6 pieces and wet the tip of the thread before trying to thread it. The bad: The instructions could come with pictures or a link to a cute pusheen cross stitch video. I have never cross stitched before and while the instructions were enough to understand, I still had to fill in some gaps of knowledge. Like "what do I do with the end of the thread? Do I just leave it untied and dangling in the back?" Also, I didn't start in the center like the instructions say to. The hoop is so small that I was worried if I started in the middle, I would end up off and the pattern wouldn't fit in the hoop. I started this pattern from the bottom. Another con is that the hoop is rather small. Its just barely big enough to fit the pattern. Also, its kind of hard to seperate the thread into 6 strands because of how it twists back onto itself, but after a few tries you can figure out the best way to do it. After its all said and done though, this is a fun way to pass the time. I hadn't even considered adding cross stitich to my arts & crafts knowledge but I think I might now. It's a good introduction into cross stitich, especially for its cheap price. If you don't have much patience though I wouldn't try this. The picture above is about 5 hours of work and I'm not even done!

Super cute, Super fun, and easy to understand the guide they have! For only 10$ DEFINITELY worth it

I wanted to get into cross stitching, but I didn’t want to waste money on buying individual supplies in case I ended up not liking it. This is THE kit to buy to start cross stitching. It gives you 3 pieces of Aida for 3 projects, a hoop, 2 needles, thread, and a pattern book. The book goes over the steps of cross stitching, but it might be more handy to look up videos. There is more than enough thread to do the projects if you follow the directions (use a single thread and fold it in half). If you try to use 2-3 strands, you will run out of thread or the needle will break which is what happened to me in my last project. The needles are not tapestry needles. I would say they are probably embroidery needles Or sharps because I got poked a few times. I would also recommend buying a separate needle threader because the eye is small. The inner hoop is a little smaller than 3 inches so depending on the pattern you might need to move the hoop around to fit. Overall, this is a great low stakes entry into cross stitching, and I had a lot of fun.

I use to cross stitch a lot when I was younger and this was the perfect little project for me to ease myself back into it. It came with everything you could need and then some. I have plenty of thread left over to use in other projects if I so desire, or even replicate one of designs given in this little set. My only gripe is how small the book is, it made counting and reading the pattern a little difficult, but I could still easily understand it.

This was a gift to myslef and boy was it a blast. It was a great way to spend a lot of time making something small but cute, and picking up a new skill! The instructions were hard to follow, but a quick google search or two helped me get started. I also had some issues with the needles breaking, but I was being a bit rough. It helps to have some extras around just in case. I also did this directly onto a duffel bag (so I could show off my new cross stitch skills), which was a bit tricky but well worth the effort. I also modified the design a bit based on other reviews and it came out great! All in all a really fun, mostly enjoyable sometimes tedious/frustrating activity

If you like cross stitch, love Pusheen, or just want a super fun and easy project: buy this kit! I loved it so much that I did all 3 projects over the course of three days. The kit comes with helpful instructions, a hoop, 3 pieces of cross stitch fabric, 2 needles, and plenty of thread to make these patterns and have lots of left over. The patterns turned out so cute that I may buy some extra fabric and make more as gifts for my friends . I'm a big Pusheen fan, so I knew I needed this kit as soon as I saw it and I didn't regret my purchase! My only complaint is that the center of the pattern isn't market, so I had to take an extra step of counting the stitches really carefully to make sure I centered the project. But that is a really minor issue. I really hope they will make more of these, because I need all of the Pusheen!!

I love Pusheen, and got this. It's a great little kit for beginners. Comes with a good amount of thread and the patterns are easy to read.

This was absolutely an adorable kit to finish. I love Pusheen and the cross stitch kit was easy to follow. Considering this is my first cross stitch in over 20 years, I had a lot of fun getting back into it with my favorite chubby tabby cat. Now I just need to find a way of displaying the finished product!

Lovely set

Çok küçük gerçekten minyatür

Sehr niedliches kleines Set. Gute Anleitung, allerdings auf Englisch. Man kann 3 kleine Bildchen sticken und man ist damit eine ganze Weile beschäftigt. Auch sehr gut zum mitnehmen geeignet. Der Preis ist schon etwas hoch, aber es handelt sich um ein Markenprodukt und da zahlt man bekanntlich für den Namen schon etwas mehr.

You have everything you need in this little pack to create some really cute cross-stitches! I've never been very crafty and find it difficult to stay focused, but this pack came with everything needed (except scissors) and it had a great little book with clear instructions to get you going. I'm so pleased how the first one came out, especially since it's my first go at cross-stitch. I would recommend this to everyone! It's been a nice project during the lock down. Currently starting my second.

Demorou um pouco, mas chegou 🥰 vem com 3 opções de bordado, mas o tecido não vem com nenhum rascunho que desse pra seguir o modelo. Falta ainda ler o manual pra entender melhor.
