We love hearing from our fans all over the world and it's lovely to receive their orders too. We are aware of course that there are some issues regarding international shipping. At the moment, shipping to UK addresses is free because the costs are relatively small and we can absorb those. With international orders even the cheapest method is relatively expensive and can be unreliable.

Some time ago we took the decision to use Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed (even though this isn't the cheapest option) because we found that occasionally items went astray. Track and Sign gives us more confidence that the items will actually get to you. If however the item isn't delivered, we get compensation from Royal Mail and can replace your order quickly.
 

Secondly, the UK system of PayPal differs from the US one and is slightly less flexible to implement. At the moment, if you are ordering items from anywhere outside the UK, you have to add the items you want to your shopping cart and then add international postage according to your 'World Zone'. Of course ideally this is something that would happen automatically at the checkout. But making this happen through PayPal is proving surprisingly tricky. We are working on fixing this — even if it means going to another payment system provider — but until we do, we are stuck with this slightly cumbersome method.

There is an alternative though. If you having trouble ordering through our site you can instead simply email us with listing the items you want, plus your full postage address, and we can send you a PayPal invoice. This is often much the easiest method as you avoid all the shopping carts and technical issues on the site.

If you have any queries though, contact us and we'll do our best to help.

We're delighted to be launching the second kit in our Natural Wonders Collection — the Pink Jezebel! 

 

Based on the Common Jezebel Delias eucharis, this lovely butterfly brooch makes a wonderful addition to our series of 3D embroidery kits.

As usual, the kit comes with a fully illustrated booklet that takes you step-by-step through making this novel and attractive brooch. With easy-to-follow stitching diagrams and charts, this project really isn’t as hard as it looks. In fact, with little experience and a bit of dedication, you should find it relatively easy to make your own fabulous butterfly creation!  

 

You can read more about the kit here: www.sakoran.co.uk/butterfly.html#pinkj

If you haven't seen it already, take a look at our Blue Wanderer butterfly brooch kit too.

Last year we created lots of new designs which we haven’t shown you yet so we decided to share them with you, little by little, on Instagram. 

Some of these designs are not available as kits yet, but we couldn’t resist showing you our tiny yacht, some miniature cakes, and a variety of butterflies. 

We’re also going to share with you some other images, including those that inspire us to create our designs – beautiful landscapes and flowers, for example – many of them photographed near our home on the Isle of Wight, UK.

So do take a look our Instagram page: www.instagram.com/sakoranstitch
