The delicate cherry blossom, or sakura, is a beloved tree that’s known for its soft pink petals and delicate scent. Every year, people flock to the plants as they begin to bloom—it's an unofficial start to spring. Oh Sew Bootiful pays homage to its beauty in an embroidery kit. The design features a single cherry blossom branch with petals fluttering in the wind. It's stitched onto a photographed background of an out-of-focus tree, and the embroidered addition completes the striking landscape.

It's easy to get started on this kit because it has everything you need—from the six-inch embroidery hoop to the needles to all of the thread. Once you're stitching, you're sure to be transported to an idyllic sakura forest.

• Each kit includes the following supplies: a 6-inch wooden embroidery hoop; pre-printed, 100% cotton fabric; padding; start-to-finish guide; illustrated stitch instructions; 100% cotton embroidery thread; two embroidery needles; and a paper version of the pattern.
  
• This pattern is made up of four different types of stitches and is best suited for someone that has embroidered before.

About Oh Sew Bootiful
