Looking for a Small Project You Can Finish In a Weekend?
Not every cross stitch project needs to take months to complete. Sometimes you just want a small project you can pick up, enjoy and finish over a few evenings or a weekend.
That's exactly what our Mini Cross Stitch Kits are designed for. Whether you're taking a break from a larger project, looking for something portable to stitch while travelling, or simply want a quick and satisfying finish, these kits make it easy to get straight to the fun part.
Everything is prepared and ready to go, so there's no sorting threads, cutting fabric or gathering supplies before you start. Just add your scissors, thread your needle and start stitching.
Each kit includes one of my original mini cross stitch designs, along with coordinated hand-dyed fabric and all the materials needed to create a finished cross stitch keyring or ornament.

Designed For Satisfying Stitching
Sometimes you want to stitch, but you don't want the setup. You don't want to spend time pulling colours, cutting fabric or organising supplies before you can even start.
These kits take care of all that for you. They're ideal for popping into a project bag, taking on holidays, stitching while travelling or enjoying during a quiet evening at home.
They're also a great way to enjoy the satisfaction of finishing a project without committing to something that will take weeks or months to complete.
Why Stitchers Love Small Projects
Many stitchers have at least one larger work in progress waiting to be stitched. While those projects are rewarding, it can be nice to work on something smaller and see it come together quickly.
These mini designs offer a satisfying break from larger pieces while still giving you a finished project you'll be proud of. And because each design finishes as a keyring, you'll have something practical to use, display or gift when you're done.
About the Hand-Dyed Fabric
Each kit includes hand-dyed Zweigart Aida fabric that's been carefully chosen to complement the design.
Because these patterns aren't full coverage, the fabric remains visible in the finished piece and becomes part of the overall design. The result is a finished project with extra depth, colour and personality.
Skill Level
These kits are best suited to stitchers with some basic cross stitch experience. Each design includes its own difficulty rating so you can choose the project that best suits your skill level.
If you're completely new to cross stitch, you may prefer to start with one of our Ultimate Beginner Cross Stitch Kits before moving on to these mini projects.
Finished Size
- Finished design area approximately 5–6 cm

FAQs
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Some designs suit confident beginners, while others require a little more experience. Each design includes its own difficulty rating to help you choose the right project.
Does the kit include everything I need?
The kit includes everything you need to complete the project, except scissors and an optional pen for marking completed stitches on your pattern.
Why is the fabric hand dyed?
We choose hand-dyed fabric to complement each design and form part of the finished look. Because the designs aren't full coverage, the fabric colour remains visible around the stitching.
Are the patterns tested before being sold?
Yes. We personally stitch and test every design before adding it to the range to ensure the finished project matches the pattern.
Can I use the design for something other than a keyring?
Yes. While the kit includes keyring or ornament hardware, many stitchers choose to display their finished design in a small frame, attach it to a project bag, or use it as part of another creative project, like stitching directly on a bag or clothes.
