Who says calendars are just for Christmas? This stunning stitchable countdown to the summer is the ideal project to work on over the sunshine season. This design consists of 30 originally illustrated classic summer icons from a cute lobster to a wicker bag, an acoustic guitar to a red and white spotty swimming costume! Stitched using a collection of simple embroidery techniques to create a piece of artwork that will truly bring sunshine into any home.

There are opportunities to personalise the piece when you transfer the pattern with carbon paper onto premium natural-coloured cotton. If you are feeling adventurous you could swap in some of your designs. Each icon is numbered within the how-to from 1-30, so you can follow them as a summer calendar or you can feel free to stitch them at your leisure. Each embroidery takes approximately 15 -20 mins to complete, making it the perfect way to touch base with your creativity and relax over the summer months. 

This 9-inch/23cm piece is ideal to take from the sofa to poolside throughout the summer days, making it the perfect relaxing way to tap into your creativity.
