Modern and Traditional Embroidery Dress

I've been making lots of Christmas Snowflakes from this Free Snowflake Pattern on the American Felt and Craft blog. Boy, have I heard the word snowflake a bit too much this season. But to me, the message of the snowflake is simple - it is that every created thing in this world has worth, is important, is exquisite, and has meaning.

Half the fun of crafting these is just grabbing a handful of pretty colors and sequins and making it up as I go along. If you're looking for a quick fun pattern to fill in some moments by the tree today, I highly recommend it! Get the free pattern on American Felt and Craft.


I'm not normally a purple person, but I'm loving this color combo I created.


Lastly, I would like to wish you and your families the merriest of Christmases. However you celebrate it, or even if you do not celebrate it at all - may the spirit of love that fills this season fill your hearts and guide you in hope and joy into the new year.

Thank you for reading Feeling Stitchy, and for being a part of all the things that bring us hope and joy throughout the year.

Let's not forget Hanukkah begins tonight, and I can't think of a lovelier way to commemorate it than to stitch this beautiful Festival of Lights pattern by Cozy Blue.

How special it would be to stitch each candle, one per night, until you have a finished piece!

Just how sweet is this Night Before Christmas pattern set by Alicia Paulson? There are three patterns in the set, including a mouse and a lovely snowflake.

I'm also a fan of this adorable Snow Day pattern set as well:

If you adore Mollie's sweet style as I do, there are lots of holiday themed patterns in her Etsy shop as well:

I've fallen in love with a series of small felt ornament patterns by Lia Griffith - this Little Felt Bear is one. They require very little sewing and embellishment, so they are very quick to turnaround in these wee hours before Christmas is upon us!

Also not to be missed are these Felt and Pinecone Owls:

And this sweet Felt fox pattern

A teeny tiny felt Sewing Machine pattern by Betz White is perfect for your crafty friends!

There are plenty more delightful ornament patterns in Betz White's shop as well:

I love these sweet Winter Woodland Ornament patterns by Jenny Blair Art! The muted colors and cute animals are lovely and adorable.

These Cindermice patterns by Sophie at What Delilah Did are so bright and wonderful. What a cute little gift they would make, or some time well-spent, teaching a beginner how to stitch!

I adore this Cute Christmas Robin pattern by Etsy seller iManuFatti. Seriously, it is filled with delightfulness, if that is even a word. :)

This Friends For Tea ornament pattern in Bumpkin Hill's shop is adorable, isn't it? We featured this Friends for Tea pattern a few years ago, but it is totally worthy of a repost, in my opinion!

Catherine also has some delightful new patterns in her shop as well:

Continuing the vintage Christmas charm are these lovely Felt Christmas Ornaments patterns by artist Erica Hite. I love how these patterns can either take a lot or a little embellishment and still look fantastic!

This Silent Night pattern by Daisy Eyes Handmade has so many beautiful touches. I love the variety of colors and stitches, and the wonderful vintage look.

Nothing says Christmas like this sweet UFO themed Christmas pattern in the Hallodribums Etsy shop! I love the simple, sketchy lines, and the sweetness of this little pattern. For you less traditional Christmas fans out there.

Simple, sweet, and lovely - this Merry and Bright pattern by Little Thimble Studios is just perfect! This shop is a lovely place to visit for some Christmas cheer, and exquisite hand-embroidered artworks.

This Old Christmas Feeling pattern by The Flossbox is just impeccable. The wool threads really give this sweet piece an heirloom feeling - there are so many lovely crewel patterns in The Flossbox's Etsy shop, and some really adorable cross stitch patterns.

Also, don't miss Emily's site for many wonderful embroidery tutorials and resources!

These exquisite Christmas Baubles cross stitch patterns by Satsuma Street are full of bright, happy color and Christmas cheer! Again, I love the bright, nontraditional colors for a welcome twist on holiday crafting.

I'm in love with this Merry Little Trees pattern for ornaments by Trellis and Thyme. I love the unusual colors - a cute change from the traditional red and green - who can resist a cheery pink tree? If you enjoy making handmade felt ornaments, there are many to be found in the Trellis and Thyme shop!

How about this adorable Christmas Badgers cross stitch pattern in Little Beach Hut's shop? So cute, and perfect to give as a gift or ornament.

There's also a beautiful kit version of this pattern in her shop as well!


What a lovely shop!
