What supplies will I need?

As a Maker's Academy member, you'll need to organise your supplies for each pattern that you'll make.  Inside your HUB or course, I will always give you a more detailed break down of the supplies that will be required and what I recommend works well.  Overall my aim is for you to easily get your hands on great value supplies that really do work!

Great news is that now you can get all the supplies you'll need for all three types of fiber craft at our online store, the Clever Poppy Shop!  We only stock products that I have tested and used myself so that you know they'll work.  Inside the shop you'll find both starter kits  and supply kits for each of the project patterns.

As a Maker's Academy member, you'll also get some great discounts - just use your supplied discount code.

If you're from another country and wish to source your supplies elsewhere then I'll give you options for overseas stores too.

Check out the descriptions below to get an idea of the supplies required for each of the three types of craft - Embroidery, Punch Needle and Woven Wall Hangings
