I have created a new Summer themed Stitch-a-long!
If you liked last year's Summer's SAL Dreaming of Summer then you really might like this. It's been designed at nearly the same stitch count and with a similar bright floral theme.
How the stitch-a-long works:
This is a 6 part stitch-a-long. You will receive a part of the design on the release dates below until the design is fully revealed on 21st August.
29th May - Pre-order opens
Part 1 - 12th June
Part 2 - 26th June
Part 3 - 10th July
Part 4 - 24th July
Part 5 - 7th August
Part 6 - 21st August
For this version, PDF + Fabric and Floss Pack you will receive the raw/natural fabric (of your choice), a needle, and a floss card that has all the DMC threads needed for this kit (16 colours).
All charts are in PDF format in colour, and a Pattern Keeper compatible version too. The updated files will be emailed to you each time a new part is released.
** If you'd like to order just the PDF's, please check out my other SAL listing. **

I'm stitching the model on a Zweigart 14ct Aida in pale blue (colour 503) so all my photos will be of it on that.
It is designed for competent beginners and uses whole cross stitches, with no back stitching. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you experience any difficulty understanding the pattern or instructions.
