Here’s all the information for the Nightmare Before Christmas SAL, all in one place! This includes the release schedule, size, fabric suggestions, and full color list.

You can download the packet below!
I am also partnering with Fangirl Fibers on this SAL. She has made awesome custom needle minders and a floss holder just for this SAL! You can purchase them HERE.
On a hilarious side note: I draw out all my designs for my patterns/SALs on paper first. The only problem with that is that I am absolutely awful at drawing. While drawing out the ideas for this SAL I created a gem. Meet Poogie Moogie (aka my awful drawing of Oogie Boogie):
Enjoy and happy fabric hunting!
Nightmare Before Christmas Sample Squares
Hello everyone!
I can’t believe it’s already halfway through July. Release day for the SAL is so close (yet so far away)!
For your viewing and stitching pleasure, I have designed 3 sample squares for the Nightmare Before Christmas SAL. These squares are the exact style and size of the daily squares in the SAL and can be switched out for any of them if you’d prefer them over ones in it.
The downloads below have a pattern both with and without the background so you can chose whether you want your fabric to show through or not.
Here they are:
You can download the patterns below!
Keep a look out for more info coming later this week!
Enjoy and happy stitching!
What’s This?!
What’s this? What’s this?!
I’m happy to officially announce I will be hosting a free advent style SAL themed after Nightmare Before Christmas.
The frame will be released on September 1st and then a small square featuring a portrait style picture of something from the movie every day of October, for a total of 31 squares.
Each daily square will have an optional solid colored background you can stitch for full coverage or you can chose not to stitch it to let your fabric show through. Completely up to you!
I can already release the floss list for the frame, it’s pretty simple: 310. A lot of it. According to the program I use you will need 3.4 skeins of it.
My test stitchers are busy working on the frame and I\’m busy finishing up the designs of the daily squares.
As it stands the full pattern is 179×191 stitches (it will be taller than it is wide) and should not change from that.
I suggest bright or light colors for fabric choices. Nothing that black will blend in to. If I can get my hands on it I will be using a neon green hand dyed fabric I saw earlier today for my personal stitch of this.
Stay tuned for more information!
Have a question? Put it in the comments and I’ll answer it if it doesn’t give away any details of the SAL I don’t want to yet!
