Good Tidings – Vintage Christmas Stitchery ~ Finished size to suit an A4 sized frame

– With hearts full, these sweet carollers celebrate the festive season with a traditional Christmas carol. Inspired by vintage Christmas cards and advent calendars, this One Day in May design celebrates family tradition and simple celebration of Christmas’ past.

– The Good Tidings pattern includes an IRON ON TRANSFER so you won’t have to spend any of your stitching time tracing. You’ll also find a full sized pattern sheet and comprehensive illustrated and photographic instructions.

– Back-stitch, French Knots, Running Stitch, Simple Straight Stitches and a little Satin-stitch are used to create this vintage style piece. This design uses just 4 skeins of variegated thread (Cottage Garden Threads) and is highlighted with Gold Thread. Alternatively, create a unique colourway with threads from your own collection.

– Add a touch of festive nostalgia to your home this Christmas.
