Fun project! I used to be intimidated by French knots but now love making them.

I ordered two of the Christmas tree beginner embroidery kits from Clever Poppy after seeing an advertisement on Instagram. It arrived in good time, well before the holidays , and I found the kits and the accompanying videos a joy to work with. Everything , and I mean everything from floss to small scissors, was included. Best of all ,I made them for my daughters and one told me it was her favorite Christmas present of 2025. I highly recommend the Clever Poppy embroidery kits and plan to get more this year

I was gifted this kit for my birthday and was so impressed with the ease of use. As a complete beginner, I truly felt a sense of accomplishment when I finished. Everything I needed was included and the videos were incredibly helpful and encouraging. I can’t wait to order another kit!

Step by step directions and encouragement! Loved this intro to embroidery.

I chose this pattern for my first embroidery project, and it was so much fun! The video guides are incredibly well made and detailed, they truly thought of everything, and nothing was missed. It made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable, even as a complete beginner. The kit comes with everything you need, and the materials are high quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to embroidery

This is a great beginner kit. Not only was it easy to complete, the finished product looks great. Builds confidence & skills!

I loved the pattern, tutorials, and experience! I can’t wait to order another kit :)

I'm a sewist and have done a lot of cross-stitching, but I'm new to embroidery – this was a great place to start! Super cute pattern with a thoughtful intro to different stitch types. My only issue was a lack of written instruction; video instructions without text don't work for my brain, so I struggled there (even a downloadable PDF of the video transcripts would be helpful). Lots of cute patterns on this site to come back to, though!

I loved completing this beautiful project! It was my first time ever cross stitching and I don’t consider myself crafty but I loved every minute and it turned out beautifully! Julie’s tutorials were perfect and I loved her mantra of progress over perfection! I can’t wait to try my next one!

Loved this! I have crossed all my life, but I am new to embroidery. This is my second embroidery project and first guided with instruction. Julie was lovely. I absolutely loved this little Christmas tree kit. It was festive and fun to do right before the holidays. I gave it to my mom who taught me how to stitch when I was a little girl. I loved the modern colors. The scissors and pen and everything that was included. It was packaged so nicely. Very sweet to get the complementary needle minder for my first time purchase with clever Poppy. I am buying the monogrammed initial project to do next!

I was really pleased with the step by step videos. Anyone can do this!

Great fun embroidering this tree with gifts

I loved this experience as a first timer! The videos were so clear and easy to follow. I had a question once and support emailed me back quickly! The final outcome is fantastic - if I must say so myself. Ha! I did the Christmas Tree

This was a great introduction! The videos that accompany it were thorough and easy to follow. Now I have a new skill and a lovely Christmas decoration to show off!

I've always wanted to try embroidery but was hesitant to try b/c seeking out well done instructional videos seemed daunting - the guides that come with this kit are done SO well and I was able to get the gist of each new stitch easily! Thank you!

I’ve just completed my Christmas Tree pattern and could not be happier! It was such fun and I love the happy, bright colors!

Besutiful so fun!

The beginner kits are great, and the instruction videos were really helpful. I dont think l could have gotten through the kits without them.

Great selection

Festive Wash Away Supplies Pack

Awesome, it helped me to hold the needle while I fix the threads. Good job 👏 Clever Poppy!!

The tutorials and finished product were both wonderful! “Progress over perfection” was such a welcomed tone to learn a new skill. After completing the Christmas tree, I picked up 2 more kits to work on - the Snowman was also fun and whimsical and I’m looking forward to starting the 3rd kit soon!

This Christmas tree kit was perfect for me as a beginner. It came with everything I needed to get started! The video tutorials are super helpful too! I will definitely be ordering another kit soon!

Wonderful! Clear directions, lovely colors and fun stitches, I learned a new stitch! This was a gift and my friend loved it ❤
