Personalise back-to-school bags, lunchboxes and more with this quick-stitch collection of alphabet cuties. Even when it's time to start 'big school', kids are never too old for their favourite teddy bear. And, while they might not be able to take them into class, they can take the next best thing - this adorable family of cute cuddlies, ready with their cheery smiles and funny poses! Dressed in an array of different outfits, waving hello and doing handstands, these colourful pals are filled with fun. But they're not just for kids, either - this classic ABC can be used again or again for cards, tags and gifts for all ages. You'll use a variety of stitching techniques, but their small size means you can easily whizz through an initial in an evening. Why not change up the colour palette to suit your recipient, too, adapting the thread shade of the letters or the little bears' outfits? You could even stitch all 26 letters in blue or pink to make the sweetest birth sampler for a new baby. The options really are endless, so thread up your needle and start stitching today!
