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.
