Craft Focus - August/September 2022 (Issue 92)

CORINNE LAPIERRE Corinne Lapierre’s Twelve Days of Christmas series started life on her Create and Craft TV show and have been a yearround best seller ever since. The designs of the classic festive song are so popular we have made them accessible to crafters the world over in three different formats best suited to their needs: The Twelve Days of Christmas book has all the instructions, full scale templates and stitch guide required. It’s ring bound so it lays flat for better visibility. The trade price is £4.50, RRP £9. The Twelve Days of Christmas Felt Bundle contains 25 squares (9in/22.5cm) of wonderfully soft wool mix felt in all the colours needed for the projects. Many crafters have used these bundles to make three or even four more sets for all their loved ones! The Twelve Days of Christmas whole set includes the book, the felt bundle as well as all the toy filling, DMC thread, ribbon and needle required for the projects. The trade price is £31.25, RRP £75. +44 (0)1132 460 403 trade@corinnelapierre.com www.corinnelapierre.com CYGNET YARNS Cygnet Yarns’ Seriously Chunky Prints has three new festive shades: Holly, Mistletoe and Robin.

We especially adore the I Love You little gnomes, these would make a great gift for a newlyweds’ first Christmas together! If your stitching is never the neatest at the back, a handy tip is to glue a piece of felt or wrapping paper over the back after completing, then any twirling that happens on your tree will have all those little sins hidden away! Each kit comes with 14 count plastic canvas, Luca-s stranded cottons, enlarged charted design, sewing needle and sewing instructions. Each ornament is around 9cm tall, and the packs start from just £19.99 retail for a set of three and £29.99 for the set of six. +44 (0)161 464 7313 sales@solocrafts.com www.solocrafts.com 38
