W

e’re pulling out

all the stops

this year with

a full menu

of time-honoured drinks!

Whether you’re a cocktail or

mocktail enthusiast, you’ll love

stitching retro tipples like the

grasshopper, bloody Mary,

cosmopolitan and more. The

designs’ fab hand-drawn look is

created by outlining the glasses

in a mix of one and two strands

of backstitch. So, choose your

bevvy from this gin-credible

selection, or stitch the whole set

and turn to page 60 to find out

how to make it up as bunting! ●
