I’ve now road-tested the new templates by marking out my own cloth for next year, and so far so good, so the new templates are now available here.
Just to be clear, you don’t need my templates; you can very easily make your own. If you do want to purchase mine, then please be aware that the delivery email will go to the address you used for the purchase, and it will probably go to your spam or junk folder. Please check your spam folder before contacting me to report a problem; 99% of the time you will find it there. The email you receive will contain a button that takes you to the PDF download.
You get a 26-page PDF with monthly templates, some options for transferring the templates to fabric, a few descriptions of some of my own work, and brief instructions on calculating how much fabric you will need. If you’re making a large square like I am, then you will need about a square yard of medium weight cotton or linen fabric. If you’re making a long strip, then you will need to do some basic maths to calculate the width and length. There is also a bonus section at the end of the PDF with some design sketches for filling the long rectangles.
There’s a YouTube video here that demonstrates a few ways to transfer the templates to fabric.
There is a help page here that tells you how to access and download the PDF.
If you get really stuck then do get in touch but please remember there’s only me, I don’t have assistants, and life is pretty hectic at present.
I’ve made a start on couching some of the gridlines. It’s a good excuse to use some of the textured yarns I’ve collected over the years. I’m really looking forward to stitching this one.
