Join the Hello Winter SAL now for $15

This Stitch Along:

  • Has almost all full cross stitches (just a tiny bit of backstitch and a few fractionals) so you can stitch it even if you're a beginner to cross stitch.
  • Will get you in that Winter mood with the cool colours and fun motifs on it.
  • Is not too long so is easy to fit into busy days and will give you that finished, satisfied feeling.
  • Has a simple finish of backing onto a canvas which I include a full tutorial for at the end of the SAL.

The Hello Winter SAL isn't just another cross stitch pattern. It's 5 weeks of surprise stitching, helpful tutorials, a supportive community, pep talks to keep you motivated and so much more!

Here's what you'll get:

  • Hello Winter PDF cross stitch pattern (broken down into weekly releases to help keep you on track.
  • Tips and Tricks (if it is needed, each week I will link to videos, blog posts or podcast episodes that I have to help you with stitching).
  • Canvas Making Video Tutorial (in the final week there will be a tutorial showing you how to mount your finished piece onto a canvas frame).
  • BONUS: PDF Planning Sheets (to help you plan out what you need for this SAL and when you will stitch).
  • BONUS: Shopping list and calendar (to make sure you have all the supplies you need and you know exactly when the patterns are being released).

Just imagine...

  • If you could spend your evenings using your hands and relaxing your mind instead of scrolling your phone.
  • If you could create a thoughtful, handmade gift for your loved ones that will be treasured for years to come.
  • If you spent your days making your own project instead of watching what others are making.
  • If you could transform threads and fabric into a seasonal decoration to hang up this Winter.
  • Feeling that sense of joy and satisfaction when people ask where you got that wall decor from.

I've felt the guilt and frustration.

Hi, I'm Hannah, and my goal is to help women find space in their day to fill with their favourite hobby and end their day fulfilled, instead of drained.

I've been running Cross Stitch Alongs since 2017, and I've been hooked ever since. I love them so much that my whole business is now pretty much running SALs!

I just love the community that evolves throughout a SAL. It's like when you're reading the same book as your best friend; you talk all about it and guess what's coming next. That's exactly what happens during a SAL, and you don't often see that in the cross stitch community. And seeing how much time everyone else is taking for their stitching helps show you that you deserve that time as well!

I can't wait to see your creativity come alive these next few weeks and see your beautiful Winter designs hanging up this season!

You will love joining this SAL because:

EASY-TO-COMPLETE PARTS

I know you're busy, so that's why the pattern is broken down into chunks that are released every week to help you stay on track to finish on time.

FAQs

What is a Stitch Along?

A stitch along is an event where we all stitch the same pattern together over a set number of weeks/months for a certain length of time. For this SAL we are stitching together weekly for 5 weeks.

How will I get inside after I purchase it?

Once you have purchased there will be a link on the confirmation page taking you right inside, plus you will get an email. You should either have to create an account with Teachable (the platform that hosts the course) or log in if you already have an account.

How long will it take to finish?

If you follow along with us live and stay on track you will have a finished canvas by the end of December. But don't worry if you fall behind, you get access to all of the patterns and videos even after we finish. I don't want you to worry about staying on track and rushing to finish; just enjoy the process and know that all the patterns will be there for you waiting for when you're ready, even if that means hanging your decoration up next year.

What comes with the purchase?

This is a fully digital product so you get instant access and nothing in the mail. The PDF patterns will be released weekly starting Friday 25th November 2022 and there will be a list of the supplies you need once you're inside plus links to where you can buy them.

You will get lots of hints and tips to help you along, plus the free Facebook group which is so supportive and helpful. You also get a video tutorial showing you how to turn your design into a canvas hanging at the end.

Do I have to show up at a certain time or day?

To get the weekly patterns, nope. You just log into Teachable and access it at any time after the release; you don't have to show up for anything live.

How long do I have access to the product for?

How does forever sound? That's right, as long as the Hannah Hand Makes exists, you will have access to all of the patterns. Plus you can download them to keep.

Do you offer refunds?

For downloadable patterns, refunds are usually not offered. However, if you change your mind before we start stitching (25th November 2022) I can offer you a refund. Just get in touch hannah@hannahhandmakes.com. You can see the pattern below so you will know if you will enjoy the design before you join.

Will there be a kit available to buy?

For this one there isn't a kit but there are lots of links on where to buy all the fun supplies from once you're inside the SAL. You will need 11 skeins of thread for this one and a piece of aida around 8.5 x 10.5 inches. They're the basics of what you need but I also recommend some other extras inside.
