'I had wanted to design my own cross stitch patterns for a while, but I just didn't know where to start. As soon as I saw Nicola's step by step course I knew it would provide all the answers I needed, and I wasn't wrong.
Nicola guides you through each step with clear instructions, taking you al the way from helping you decide on an idea, to putting your designs in a computer programme, to the finishing off the completed cross stitch. I now have lots of ideas buzzing around in my head and have already started stitching my very own patterns'

I really enjoyed this course! The modules are really nicely delivered. .I especially liked the module where Nicola discusses just getting on and having a crack at drawing something, no matter how bad you think you are!
This course came along at just the right time to spur me on and I'm really enjoying having a go at designing. Thank You Mindful Stitching School!
