For my book on red samplers, I previously recorded an in-depth video demonstrating, step by step, how to create these "mouse teeth" yourself.

As I frequently receive questions about this technique, I have decided to make the video available as a standalone resource.

You will receive a PDF containing a link to the private instructional video on YouTube. The explanation is in Dutch; however, you can enable (automatically translated) English subtitles via YouTube.

There is something lovely about unwrapping a new fabric and imagining what you might stitch on it. With the Fabric of the Month Club, you will receive hand-dyed evenweave from XJu Design on three occasions. I work with Jucus, who dyes the fabrics by hand, and arrange for them to reach you through Soed Idee.

Choose your favourite count and size, and enjoy finding inspiration in each new colour.

Your evenweave

Choose 28, 32, 36 or 40 count, with a 1/8 yard (34 × 45 cm) or 1/4 yard (68 × 45 cm) piece in each delivery.

Which colours feel like you?

• Colourful: a new colour in the odd-numbered months (January, March, May, July, September and November). You receive three deliveries, one every two months.
• Muted: a new, softer colour in the even-numbered months (February, April, June, August, October and December). You receive three deliveries, one every two months.
• Both: a fabric every month, alternating between colourful and muted shades. Your club order covers three monthly deliveries.

Three treats to look forward to

You pay for all three deliveries in one go, then enjoy looking forward to each new fabric without payments in between. You can join at any time; your first delivery depends on your order date and chosen colour range.

Three deliveries cost €67.50 for 1/8 yard pieces (34 × 45 cm) or €123 for 1/4 yard pieces (68 × 45 cm).

Shipping

The club price includes €12 for three deliveries within the Netherlands (€4 per delivery). For an address elsewhere in the EU, choose the €9 shipping supplement. For an address outside the EU, choose the €15 supplement. These supplements cover all three deliveries.

About the photos

The sample photos show the colours for the first two club months on linen. The main image is a styled illustration based on these samples. You will receive your chosen fabric type in the club colour for the relevant month. As each fabric is dyed by hand, the colour and shading may vary between fabric types and dye batches. Colours on your screen may also differ from the fabric in real life.

Signing up and your first delivery

• The club starts in January 2027. To receive the January fabric, sign up for Colourful or Both by 5 December 2026. If you choose Muted, your first delivery will be in February.
• You can join at any time after that. Sign up by the 5th of the month for the following month’s fabric. Jucus needs this preparation time to dye the fabrics.
• Colourful is delivered in odd-numbered months, Muted in even-numbered months, and Both every month.
• For example, if you sign up by 5 January 2027, Colourful starts in March, Muted in February, and Both in February.
• If you sign up after the 5th, your first delivery moves to the next month that matches your chosen colour range and whose sign-up deadline has not yet passed.
