Santa and Robin

14 ct, stitched over 1

Capture the spirit of Christmas in this heart-warming scene featuring jolly old St Nick and his featured friend! Whether you're young or old, big or small, as long as you've been good this year, you'll make it onto Santa's gift list. So, with a present as magnificent as this birdhouse, Mr Robin Red-Breast must have been on his very best behaviour! We think this vintage-inspired project is the greatest gift of all. Not only do you get the most charming chart, featuring a beautifully illustrated Father Christmas in all his finery, but we've found the most innovative fabric for you to stitch it on for an instant winter wonderland. With a subtle printed background that fades from a bright blue sky down to the snow-covered ground, this clever aida means you can focus on stitching the vibrant colours and all the detail of the main design. You'll still use various techniques, but it's not densely stitched, so you'll have more time to enjoy your festive makes, and family time this year!
