2023 Intuitive Daily Stitching templates
This is EXACTLY THE SAME as the template in my online shop. Please don't purchase it twice.
This is a 16-page A4-size PDF containing all twelve monthly templates, plus 4 pages of notes and photographs covering how to use the templates, how to transfer the designs to your fabric, and some very brief suggestions for stitching.
The templates are as follows:
January - 31-block grid
February - 28 pebbles
March - 31 windows
April - 30 circles
May - 31 rectangles and circles
June - 30 lines
July - 31 flower shapes
August - whole page diamond patchwork-style design
September - 30 fruit/berry shapes
October - 31 falling leaves
November - 30-block square/rectangular grid
December - 31 stars
The templates are designed to be printed on A4 paper, or 8.5” x 11” letter paper; the design area measures about 7.5” x 9.5” (approximately 19cm x 24.5cm). Orientation is portrait, rather than landscape, but the templates would work equally well in landscape orientation if that’s what you prefer.
Please note, I do not explain in this document how to work the stitches. If you are an absolute beginner and need to know how to do (for example) running stitch or couching, you will first need to refer to one of the many embroidery books or online videos and tutorials that talk you through getting started. You might also consider signing up for my online course here on Teachable, Intuitive Daily Stitching, which demonstrates several basic stitch types that you can practise and has information on choosing fabric and thread, and on maintaining a mindful daily stitch practice.
2023 templates for Intuitive Daily Stitching
Designed to accompany my Intuitive Daily Stitching course here on Teachable, this PDF contains the twelve monthly templates listed above together with brief directions and suggestions for completing your daily stitching.
You can use the templates in any configuration - you could place the monthly blocks in a 3 x 4 arrangement on a larger cloth (for example, an old tablecloth or similar).
Alternatively you can work the blocks side by side to create a long strip. If you choose this latter arrangement, you could fold the page blocks concertina-style and make your daily stitching into a cloth book. I wrote a blog post giving directions for this here
