Tired of all this happening?

  • Never having the motivation to finish a project fully?
  • Getting frustrated with patterns when you don't know how to do the stitches included?
  • Never really knowing what to do with your stitching once you are done with it? I've been there and I have the box of designs just sitting there to prove it!
  • Feeling like you never have the time for yourself and your hobbies?
  • Feeling guilty when you actually do take the 10 minutes to sit down and try to relax? This one was huge for me and when I look back so counter-productive! I was sitting down to try and de-stress but actually stressing about all the things I could be doing!

It doesn't have to be that way! Joining this SAL will help you find the time to stitch and motivate you to finish!

The Welcome Witches SAL isn't just another cross stitch pattern. It's 6 weeks of surprise stitching, helpful tutorials, live calls, a supportive community, pep talks to keep you motivated and so much more!

Here's what you'll get:

  • Welcome Witches PDF cross stitch pattern (broken down into weekly releases to help keep you on track).
  • Live releases (join me every week and watch the pattern go live in real time and then stitch together with the other SAL members on Zoom).
  • Tips and Tricks (if it is needed, each week I will link to blog posts or podcast episodes I have to help you with stitching).
  • BONUS: Home Sweet Haunted Home Pattern (to get you in the Halloween mood while you're waiting for the SAL to start).
  • BONUS: PDF DMC Colour Palette Guide (20 DMC Floss colour palettes to help you find your own colours if you prefer).
  • 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 spent your days making your own project instead of watching what others are making.
  • Feeling that sense of joy and satisfaction when people ask where you got that beautiful but spooky decoration from.

The nitty gritty details!

Let's take a closer look at what's included & all those details you're dying to know:


Welcome Witches Secret Cross Stitch Pattern

  • It measures approx. 9 x 9 inches if stitched on 32 count evenweave.
  • The pattern releases are every Tuesday at 1pm BST, starting 6th September and finishing 16th October.
  • It uses 6 skeins of DMC thread (5 colours). The colours don't look very Halloween-y but most of the design is black and white. The full list of supplies are inside with links to my favourite and recommended brands.
  • The pattern is a full counted cross stitch pattern with colour blocks and symbols.
  • It is a mix of full cross stitches, back stitches and a few fractionals.

Video tutorials and Zoom calls

  • Replays of every call we had when this SAL was running live.
  • If any of the releases have tricky stitches I will include extra video tutorials of that stitch to make sure you're never stuck on anything.

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've lost track on how many I have ran but this is only my second Halloween SAL.

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 spooky projects hanging up at Halloween!

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.

EXTRA BONUSES

This is not just a cross stitch pattern! Inside you will find free tutorials, planning sheets, colour palettes and more!

SUPER SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

You can join my free cross stitch Facebook group and get so much support from the community there; they're all amazing, encouraging and so helpful. And there are weekly Zoom calls throughout the SAL too!

FOLLOW ALONG

Join us on Zoom each Tuesday to get your patterns live or log in a little later to download the design and watch all of the videos in 1 place. You can watch on your phone while you settle down with your stitching in your cross stitch spot.

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. So for the Welcome Witches SAL we are stitching together for around 6 weeks and the pattern parts are released every Tuesday.

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 design by the end of October. But don't worry if you fall behind, you get access to all of the patterns and videos (and replays of the calls) 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 monthly starting Tuesday 6th September 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 a video walkthrough of the pattern each week and lots of hints and tips to help you along, plus the free Facebook group which is so supportive and helpful.

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

For the Zoom calls you can come to live, but if you can't due to timezone/work etc you can just watch the replay. Or just log into Teachable and access the patterns at any time after the release.

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 (6th September 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 6 skeins of thread for this one and a piece of evenweave or aida around 11 x 11 inches. They're the basics of what you need but I also recommend some other extras inside.
