SSF Year in Embroidery

Description

This tracker fabric includes a small square for every day of the year for you to fill in as you please. During 2023 I used it to track the daily maximum and minimum temperatures in my home town of Liverpool and during 2024 I have stitched the number of steps walked each day and the days that I have been swimming, both absolutely fascinating! But not only that, having a small project that I can pick up and put down as I wish, and watching it grow for a full year, has been a brilliant, mindful and relaxing experience. There are so many different things that you could track: weather patterns, moods, habits, activities, health or medical observations (I rather like the idea of a menopause symptoms tracker!)

The fabric has been designed to fit in a 12″ embroidery hoop (those little squares add up to a big circle!) and the fabric itself is a lovely lightweight organic cotton calico. The calico has been bleached with organic dyes to give a lovely soft white finish, perfect to make those thread colours stand out!

There are two options available:

• Option 1 – Fabric only – Simply the tracker fabric, a stitching guide and new for 2025, a hoop butt label!
• Option 2 – Basic kit – The tracker fabric, a piece of white cotton (to double up the fabric), a 12″ Elbesee embroidery hoop and 2 project cards (to store your threads), and a hoop butt label. There are no threads included but this blog post details the colours that I used for my 2023 temperature hoop

There are also a couple of samples and seconds available

• Samples – The first print of the fabric and the month names are a little lighter than the current version. It doesn’t matter in the least as you’ll stitch over them anyway!
• Seconds – One panel where the print is slightly blurred. Once again, it doesn’t matter as you’ll be stitching over all of the lines anyway.

The Super Seconds Festival is running over the weekend of 4^th and 5^th October and there are 250 makers involved so make sure you check them all out here!

All orders will be posted by Friday 10^th October. I will be reusing packaging wherever possible and everything sent to the UK goes 2^nd class as standard. There is an option to upgrade at checkout. I’m afraid that I’m currently not posting anything to the EU or NI due to recent GPSR legislation. Believe me when I say this makes me sadder than you ☹. All other international orders are sent tracked as standard. These parcels may be subject to customs duties, and you are responsible for the payment of these. They are not the responsibility of Little Light Stitchery. If you are in the USA, your import tariffs are included in the price you pay here.
