I designed this little fireside Christmas scene inspired by a gorgeous vintage French stamp that an instagram friend was selling. It was created for the group at my first Stitchery Retreat and is a good, easy, stitch for beginners relying mostly on straight stitch. (I had to create something we could easily stitch whilst chatting!)
The kit includes a 10” square piece of hand-printed antique linen together with the threads and instructions required to complete the pattern. The finished piece is approximately 8cm by 6cm and could be personalised further with a few words from a favourite Christmas carol or Seasons Greetings for someone you love.
To complete the kit you will also need a packet of needles (a size 5 is a good all-rounder for beginners), a pair of small, sharp, needlework scissors and 5” embroidery hoop.
All of our kits have been completed by complete beginner
