For those just joining us with this stitch-along, you can find the introduction to the project here, which will tell you what you can expect from the stitch-along. You can find the first installment here. And if you’re looking for a materials kit, you can find that available here.

For members of the Needle ‘n Thread community on Patreon, you have already received the PDF for today’s lesson. I posted it last night, so you should have received notification of it already. You can find it available here, if you haven’t downloaded the PDF yet.
