Following on from the success of the current Happiness is Homemade SAL, we have decided to launch a new Christmas SAL! We start stitching 'Dash Away!' on 4th August 2017 and pre-order is open now HERE!
We will be stitching the 8-part Christmas SAL one part every 2 weeks until November to give everyone time to finish it off, frame, turn into a cushion or gift before Christmas!
Here are 6 great reasons why you should join in!...
1. Its a mystery! Sure, its nice to know exactly what your finished piece will look like but the mystery SAL makes it more fun! Patiently waiting for the next release date to find out which piece of the puzzle you'll be stitching keeps you on your toes!
2. Make new friends worldwide! Join the dedicated Facebook group here and meet other stitchers from Sydney to Iceland! Upload pictures of your progress to Facebook and Instagram (*using the hashtag #CCSSAL) and guess together what's coming up next!
3. Its quick and easy! Sometimes, a large piece can be a bit daunting; the complexity or size might put you off. But with the Stitch-a-Long, a larger pattern is split into more manageable pieces.
4. Its relaxing! Cross stitch gives us that time to relax, wind down and concentrate on those little squares of perfection. Read all about the benefits of cross stitch here on the BLOG.
5. PDFs, hard copies or full kits! Whether you're totally new to cross stitch or if you've been obsessed for years, there's an option to suit you!
6. Who doesn't love CHRISTMAS? Do we need more of a reason than that!? Plus, it would make the most fabulous gift this year!
So don't hesitate, and grab your pre-order here now to get ready for some wonderful festive stitching come August!
Being crafters, we're constantly searching for the next project to satisfy our creative needs. But have you ever stopped and wondered when and how the craft we all love so much began? Elements of cross stitch can be found in history for thousands of years, as far back as sixth century BC. Pieces of needlecraft art have been discovered in medieval churches across the globe, as well as inside ancient Egyptian tombs!
Our splash-tastic Ocean Wonder box comes with all of the fantastic quality supplies needed to create a cross stitch project, along with a 6" Elbesee wooden hoop, a delicious sweet treat and useful cross stitch supplies.
When it comes to cross stitching, there are just two types you will come across: stamped cross stitch and counted cross stitch. The two have similar outputs, but the process will differ in some ways. It can be difficult to know which option to choose, so use this helpful guide to help decide which is best for you!
