The Puffing Billy Steam Locomotive Blackwork Kit

Description

The Puffing Billy Steam Locomotive Blackwork Embroidery Kit or Pattern

The Puffing Billy Steam Locomotive Blackwork Kit is based on the oldest surviving steam locomotive.

It was constructed between 1813-1814 for the Wylam Collery. It was one of three similar engines built by William Hedley.

This is part of a collection of Steam Locomotive designs I am designing with my Steam Engine loving Dad.  The others in the set include Catch-Me-Who-Can, The Wylam Dilly, Locomotion No.1 , The Rocket, Castle Class and Clun Castle Steam Locomotive.

My Dad has proof stitched each of the engine patterns for me.

This design is ideal for anyone, from a beginner to an expert in any counted embroidery technique.

Apart from a sewing frame/hoop and scissors, this kit is ready to use as soon as you receive it in the post.
