Festive Doodles 2025 - an impromptu SAL! Printed Fabric Panel

Festive Doodles Hand Embroidery Printed Fabric

Join us for an impromptu Stitch A Long (SAL) this Christmas 2025!

We are excited to announce our special Festive Doodles Hand Embroidery SAL, designed for everyone to enjoy the spirit of Christmas. This unique project is suitable for all stitching levels, from beginners to experienced embroiderers. Our festive design allows you to bring your own creativity to the fabric, whether you follow classic holiday colors or explore new ideas.

Instead of our usual SAL, we are bringing something more flexible. This year, there simply wasn't enough time to organize our standard Christmas SAL. However, we did not want to miss the opportunity to share the magic of Christmas stitching. The Festive Doodles Hand Embroidery Printed Fabric panel is the solution. It lets everyone participate no matter their skill level or available time.

Nicola will be stitching this fabulous design starting November 1st and she would love for you to join in. Follow along as she shares regular progress and tips. Connect with us and other stitchers through our community. Share your creative journey and see how others choose their threads and stitches for this cheerful project.

What makes the Festive Doodles design so special is its adaptability. It is crafted to give each stitcher the freedom to experiment, play, and get inspired by the holiday motifs. There are Christmas trees, festive snowflakes, stars, baubles, and many other seasonal elements carefully printed onto the high-quality cotton panel.

There are no set tutorials or color guides. You have complete creative freedom to stitch this panel however you wish. Select your favorite shades, try new embroidery stitches, and mix styles—the possibilities are endless. Do not worry if you ever need some guidance or ideas. Our blog will offer regular updates, and our dedicated Facebook group is always open for support and inspiration.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This is not a completed embroidery kit. The panel arrives pre-printed with the design, ready for you to stitch using your own threads and creativity.
• This Stitch A Long (SAL) is different from our normal ones. There is no step-by-step pattern to follow, and no preset thread palette. Instead, it is a collaborative, shared stitching experience where you make the choices.
• The finished design area is approximately 8 inches square. The panel itself is larger to allow for framing and finishing as you wish.
• If you want additional help, guidance and inspiration will be posted regularly on our blog and in our Stitchdoodles Facebook group.

This project is the perfect way to make creative holiday memories. Whether you're relaxing at home or stitching with friends, you will enjoy expressing yourself with needle and thread. The design is detailed yet open enough for your personal touch. Turn your finished piece into a festive wall hanging, a cushion cover, or a unique gift this Christmas.

Embroidering together with our online community adds even more joy. Show off your progress, ask questions, and celebrate every completed stitch. With no deadlines or rules, you can pick up your project whenever you have time. The encouragement and camaraderie from fellow stitchers make the experience even more rewarding.

What you will get:

• A 15 inch square 100% cotton fabric panel pre-printed with the exclusive 'Festive Doodles' design. This durable and soft cotton allows for smooth stitching and holds shape beautifully as you complete your design.
• A 15 inch square of calico fabric stabiliser. Use this backing to provide extra structure and support for your embroidery, making it easier to achieve neat stitches and a polished finish.
• Access to the Stitchdoodles Facebook page. Here, you'll find an enthusiastic and supportive community that shares tips, photos, advice, and encouragement as you stitch along with everyone else.

Start your holiday season with creativity by joining this special SAL. The Festive Doodles Hand Embroidery Printed Fabric panel is a joyful way to make Christmas memories you can cherish for years to come. Stitch at your own pace, try your favorite techniques, and explore festive designs in a supportive environment.
