Well, for Homespun readers that’s the case, anyway. Logically, there’s our December issue, where we concentrate on smaller, last-minute projects, so readers can whip up handmade decorations and stocking stuffers in a matter of days. But it’s this, our special July issue, that’s the true Christmas gift for stitchers. If you pick up needle and thread/yarn now, you’ll have plenty of time to complete your projects before present wrapping and yuletide entertaining. Each July, we publish fresh and innovative Xmas ideas that will inspire you to personalise your presents and decorations, rather than rely on store-bought. Here’s what’s on offer this year: A child’s ‘good/bad behaviour’ ready reckoner for Santa; snowflakes and stars quilts; jolly felt tree decorations; a double-hoop wreath, complete with nesting bird softie; and Liberty and linen fabric crowns to put those ol’ paper ones to shame! Merry July to you all.
