Kits for Plum Street Chocolate Harts and Stacy Nash Feathered Nest pinkeep are now available: katie-strachan.com/shop
Both conversions are exclusive to their kits and once the kits have sold out, will not be shared or published in future
Chocolate Harts includes all threads used (8 spools, with one substitution if your kit is labeled restock or preorder) and linen, with a written guide to the conversion.
Please note that you will need to provide the chart for both kits, as it is not included.
Feathered Nest kits include all threads used, linen, and the finishing extras: crystal bead for the bird's eye, coordinating silk ribbon, and Liberty Tana Lawn for the lining of the pinkeep
A tutorial covering the full finishing of the pinkeep is available here: youtu.be/oS_mdoLZcx8
My previous finish of Stacy Nash's I Will Cut You pinkeep, also using magnets in the interior and Liberty Lawn, appeared in episode 51, with a silk conversion. It's also a fabulous finish that would be more cost effective as it only uses two threads: youtu.be/qWk00A0EaXM
