Here’s a great way to add a Jewish touch to your decor, a quilt, or other sewing project: an embroidered Hebrew monogram letter. And here’s a great project for a relaxing summer day: a Hebrew monogram letter embroidery kit. I’m excited to announce that I’m releasing a new line of Hebrew letter free-form embroidery kits, and the first letters are now available in the SewJewish Etsy shop.
Embroider the designs in your favorite embroidery stitches. The designs are printed on high-quality Kona cotton fabric to give you lots of great project options. Leave the embroidered monogram letter in its wooden embroidery frame to create a piece of personalized wall art or incorporate it into another sewing project to give that project a Jewish twist.
All through the process of developing these designs, visions of little Hebrew monogram accent pillows ran through my head, as well as thoughts of a trio of embroidered letters –aleph, bet, and gimmel– on a nursery wall. The kits themselves would make great gifts.
Aleph-Bet-Gimmel-Shin
The collection launches with four letters: the first three letters of the Hebrew alephbet —aleph, bet, and gimmel— and shin. I’ll add more letters over the next weeks. If you’re interested in a particular letter, let me know in the comment section or send me an email (maria.bywater{at}sewjewish.com), and I’ll add the most popularly requested letters first.
Choose a kit or just the printed fabric
Choose from two options:
1. The kit, which includes:
- The letter embroidery design printed on Kona cotton fabric
- 5” wooden embroidery hoop
- Embroidery needle
- 6 full skeins of embroidery floss in an eye-catching palette of colors
2. Just the swatch of fabric with pre-printed letter so you can use your own embroidery tools and the embroidery floss colors of your choice.
