Happy Stitchmas 2023: PArt 1

*If you haven't already prepared your hoop and transferred the design then please see my previous post with more information*

Find yourself a cosy corner, grab your favourite drink and get ready for our first instalment of the Happy Stitchmas sew along!

A couple of housekeeping notes:

* There is no such thing as falling behind with this project - you can start whenever you like!

* Let go of perfectionism - Make Your Own Happy is all about slowing down, enjoying the process and having fun

* You do not have to do exactly what I do - these are only ideas, you can mix up the colours and change the stitches used to suit you. I used to hate satin stitch but now I'm a fan. If there are any stitches you don't like swap them for something else.

*If there is anything you don't understand, are struggling with or if you want some creative suggestions then please get in touch with me. You can either email me at donna@makeyourownhappy.uk or message me on Instagram/Facebook.

*Please share what you are doing with others - the more the merrier! You can post your progress on social media using the #happystitchmas2023 so others can like and comment

Here it is.... sorry for the waffle (feel free to mute me):

The next video will be released on Sunday 10th DEcember.

Happy stitching!
