We've teamed up with Paraffle once again to bring you a brand-new embroidery project!

Get set for an embroidery adventure with our 'stick and stitch' craft kit, filled with everything you need to create your own cat-themed designs.

Sign up for your kit and learn how to customise your favourite clothes, upcycle old garments, or make decorative pieces for your home.

And the best bit? You'll be helping cats in need just by taking part!

Please note, the live craftalong has now taken place, but you will be able to watch the video recording or follow the printed instructions.

Sign up now!

Inside your kit you'll find all the materials you need to make 10 cute embroidery designs. No experience necessary – just your love for cats and a dash of imagination!

The live craftalong with Paraffle took place on Saturday 16 September, but you can still join in by watching a video recording.

Sign up for yourself or even gift a place to a special cat lover in your life and a kit will be delivered directly to their door. 

The cost to take part includes your craft kit, access to watch the craftalong, as well as a minimum of £10 to support our vital work to help cats and kittens when they need us most.

About the craft

Your 'stick and stitch' kit has been specially designed by Sammy from Paraffle and includes everything you need to create charming, cat-themed embroidery pieces.

  • Ten embroidery designs: Printed onto dissolvable fabric paper, they can be stuck straight onto clothes, bags and other accessories, for you to stitch. Or you can use them to create embroidered patches and display pieces - the choice is yours!
  • Instructions: The step-by-step booklet is filled with photos and guidance to help you bring your kitty creations to life
  • Four-inch embroidery hoop: The ideal size for creating your cat designs
  • Felt squares: Two pieces of felt (in bright blue and purple) for you to create embroidered patches. Stitch, cut and shape these felt pieces to add adorable accents to your projects
  • DMC embroidery thread: Whether you're stitching a rainbow of colours or sticking to classic cat shades, you'll find a shade for every moggy
  • Needle: Not forgetting a trusty needle!

 

About your tutor

Sammy founded Paraffle seven years ago while studying for a PhD. Looking for a creative outlet, she taught herself how to embroider and, shortly after, began designing her own embroidery kits.

She lives and works in Edinburgh, where all of her kits are made. In 2022, Sammy was involved with her first Craft for Cats event - and loved how interactive and enthusiastic the crafters were - so she’s delighted to be doing it again!

How you will help cats

Just by signing up, you’ll be helping to improve the lives of cats and kittens across the UK.

A minimum of £10 goes to help the cats at a local Cats Protection branch or centre of your choice, or wherever the need is greatest.

Your £10 could…

  • feed two cats in Cats Protection's care for 25 days
  • cover the cost of microchipping for four cats
  • pay for both a flea and worming treatment to treat and prevent parasites
