The Stitch Up – Pop the Champers and Cheers These December Makes

above A WHIMSICAL PEPPERMINT WRAP SKIRT FROM @ELLIEROSE_HANDMADE

Ho-Ho-Hi there stitchy pals! As we draw close to the end of December it’s time to look back on 2022 and… well, probably say yikes, but also think of all the good things that happened and appreciate them, no matter how small. And you know what we’re going to say but that doesn’t make it any less true, one of the brightest parts of our year has been seeing the incredible creations you guys spin together from our humble Peppermint patterns. 

So before we all hold hands and sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’, we’ve put together a roundup of some of the most marvellous makes we’ve seen this December. If you want to show off your sensational sewing, be sure to tag us in your posts and you might see yourself in The Stitch Up next year!
