My latest kit that is suitable for new and experienced beaders alike is Greta. A handy little scissor fob that can also be used as a zip pull. There is a right angle weave base using glass pearls, that is then embellished with bicones and seed beads.

The pattern is £2.50 and kits that include the pattern and all the beads are available in the colours shown for just £7.50.

Just in time for my Stitch of the Month, I have updated my technique sheet for Flat Herringbone Weave. It's free to download or you can order a printed copy (printing and postage charges apply).

My newest pattern and kit is this Waterlily Napkin or LED Tealight Cover in stunning colours of purples and yellow. The full kit is just £9.50. Technically it tubular herringbone, but hey, whose worried, as full instructions are provided using words and diagrams.

If you are feeling patriotic, you will also find my St George's Flag pattern on the website that uses flat herringbone weave and is free to download.

Happy beading!
