What's This About a Witch Along?
Posted by Stacy Pomerleau on
Are you ready to embark on a creative journey? It's time to grab your needle and thread because we're diving into the world of stitch along projects! Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner looking for a fun and relaxing activity, a stitch along project is the perfect choice. Let's explore the wonderful world of cross stitch, quilt, and doll projects and how you can share your progress with the world!
What's the Buzz About the Witch Along?
Have you ever heard of a stitch along project? It's like a virtual crafting party where people from all over the world come together to work on the same project. It's a fantastic way to connect with fellow crafters, share tips and tricks, and cheer each other on. Plus, it adds an extra layer of excitement and motivation to your crafting journey!
Choose Your Project and Let the Fun Begin!
Now comes the exciting part – choosing your stitch along project! Whether you're into cross stitch, quilting, or doll making, there's a project out there that will make your creative heart sing. Pick a project that speaks to you and matches your skill level. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination, so enjoy every stitch!
Our expectation is that the cross stitch is the "baby bear" project at about 1-2 hours per week. The Quilt project the "mama bear" project with 3-5 hours per week. The Witch Doll (using the Wise Woman pattern) will take the most time with 5+ hours per week.
The minimum requirement to participate will be to purchase the pattern for your chosen craft! We will have links to those available shortly!
You are welcome (maybe even encouraged) to shop your stash! We are also working on creating some material kits. We are planning to offer some full kits, as well as some basic supplies kits. Those will be available (hopefully) by the end of August!
Share Your Progress on the Socials!
Once you've started your stitch along project, it's time to share your progress with the world. Feel free to share your progress on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok! Snap some pictures or record a video of your work in progress and don't forget to use the project's designated hashtag, #WitchAlong2024 and you can tag the designer too (@samanthapurdytextiles, @JRoussel.Creations and @amyfelske as well as our shop @craftdeville)! Who knows, your masterpiece might just inspire others to join in on the fun!
We have also created a private Facebook group dedicated to the Witch Along for you to join! Connect with fellow crafters who have signed up for this stitch along. Exchange ideas and share your progress! It's a fantastic way to make new friends and learn from the designers.
