Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 2–4 hours per design
That's roughly 1–1 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 →Eight tiny Christmas icons in one cheerful set: a little tree, a red stocking, a gingerbread cookie, a candy cane, a gift box with a red bow, a snow globe, a wreath and a red mitten. Each motif is a quick beginner stitch with bold outlines and a shared 11-color palette.
