Welcome to this month’s designer challenge! We’re making some last-minute preparations for Christmas, so have asked our designers this time to come up with some original gift wrap ideas. We gave them a perforated box and tag to design for and they were given just seven thread shades to get creating with. If you’d like to stitch their festive makes we have the charts over the page. We hope their results will inspire you to join the fun – turn the page to see what our challenge will be for March – we’ve listed everything you need to take part.
