By popular demand, I have issued just one re-print run of this kit, which was the very last in the series of Stitcher’s Journal Subscription kits in 2021.  Hopefully, it captures that first sighting of all the family presents on Christmas morning. In our family, the wrapping really mattered, even if the present was modest, and it is something I still believe, and so I have had some fun inventing patterned paper and ribbons.

The stitching is not difficult and while the kit includes full instructions and all the threads (lots of colours!) you will need, there is also plenty of  scope for self-expression in the presents, stockings and garlands. You can download guides for all the embroidery stitches on the home page of my website or take a look at the new and wonderful Royal School of Needlework online Stitch Bank, such a brilliant idea. You can even adopt a stitch in your name!

The design is printed on a generous piece of antique French linen such that finding a suitable frame should not be a problem. The kit contains all the threads you will need, but feel free to add or swap colours from your stash. Finished, the image is larger than A5 and will need an A4 frame, but it is a lovely piece to stitch through Christmas, maybe adding a date somewhere or names of everyone who joins your Christmas table this year.

Postage / Tracking

The price of £49.95 reflects the size of the kit and number of threads, and includes postage to all areas listed. We automatically track, at no extra cost, orders over £100. This only applies to orders containing kits: if you add other products which weigh more (such as the linen bundles), then I may have to contact you and ask you to purchase additional postage. If you want to track your parcel anyway, please buy a Tracking voucher, available in the Overseas Section of the Embroidery Kits.
