Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 51–101 hours
That's roughly 11–21 weeks at about 5 hours of stitching a week. Just a rough idea: we assume an average of 100–200 stitches an hour, and everyone stitches at their own pace.
Christmas gift ideas →A wooden Christmas market stall with a red and green striped awning, glowing string lights and a counter full of gingerbread cookies and little gifts. A steaming kettle of mulled wine, a decorated pine and snowy rooftops complete the evening scene.
