“I wanted to create a traditional
Christmas design that would
be treasured for years to come.
A stitch like this will take 25-
hours to complete, but will be
enjoyed for a lifetime and beyond."
Shannon Wasilieff, designer
Bright idea
Embellish Santa's cloak with shimmering
seed beads to add an extra touch of
Christmas magic to this design. Attach each
seed bead with a whole cross stitch using
two strands of matching thread. If you're not
confident about adding seed beads to your
stitching, you can watch a tutorial online at
http://www.cross-stitching.com. Then practise on
some scrap aida until you have the hang of it.

“Rich with colour and detail, this traditional scene is ideal for
anyone who is looking for a challenging project to get stuck
into in the lead up to Christmas.”
