‘The stockings were hung by the chimney with care’. This hand embroidery kit evokes the magic of the night before Christmas, something that hopefully all children will experience. The waiting, the guessing of what is in the wrapped parcels, the pleasure of wrapping something up, however young you are. The stitching is not difficult and while the kit includes full instructions there is also plenty of scope for creative self-expression in the presents, stockings and garlands — feel free to add or swap colours from your stash of embroidery threads. You can download guides for all the hand embroidery stitches on the home page of my website or take a look at the wonderful Royal School of Needlework online Stitch Bank, such a brilliant idea. You can even adopt a stitch in your name!

Finished, the image is larger than A5 so to avoid crushing your work in a smaller hoop, why not try the Nurge 30cm x 30cm square hoop, the hoop I now use most often, available from https://mariescrossstitch.co.uk/

Remember, I am always at the end of an email if you get stuck! Christmas is a favourite time of year so we always have a choice of hand embroidery kits for you to explore in our Christmas section.
