Happy December 1st, and welcome to Day One of the Merry Stitchmas Advent Stitch-Along! I’ve kicked things off with my Corinne Lapierre Advent Calendar, and while the design is still a mystery, I’m already excited about how it’s coming together. I’ve shared my first steps over on YouTube, along with a handy whipstitch tutorial that will come in useful for many of our hand-sewing kits.
But don’t worry if you’re not stitching the Advent Calendar—you can still join in on the festive fun! Whether you're working on one of our other Christmas kits or just getting into a crafty mood, this is your chance to relax, unwind, and stitch-along with me all the way to Christmas Day.
Find a cosy corner, make yourself a warming drink (I’m thinking Gingerbread Hot Chocolate - sign up for my emails at the bottom of this page to receive the recipe!), and settle in with your favourite crafting supplies. Whether you’re sewing, knitting, crocheting, or needle felting you can join in the festive fun. You can stitch a little every day or just pop in when you need a relaxing break—whatever works for you. I’m here to keep you motivated and spread Handmade Christmas Joy all the way to Christmas!
New Kits Just in Time for Christmas
If you're a knitter, I’m excited to share two new festive knitting kits I’ve designed myself! Perfect for adding a handmade touch to your festive decor, making as gifts or gifting to a fellow crafter:
Both kits are available now on the website, so why not treat yourself to a new project?
I can’t wait to see what you create this Christmas - don’t forget to share your progress with us on social media using #MerryStitchmas! Let’s get in the festive spirit, one stitch at a time. 🎅✨
