Penny Dowdell Embroidery

ABC Challenge 2026

26 letters of the alphabet, 26 unique 3” embroidery patterns! Subscribe to my newsletter to receive an exclusive free pattern every other Monday. The pattern will include inspiration, printable pattern, DMC colour guide, and extra tips. 

Download the challenge handbook, which outlines the materials and basic process. The handbook is not an A-Z of embroidery, but it will guide you through the basic steps and stitches you’ll need to complete each embroidery. (The handbook is from last year's challenge but the steps are all the same - I will update soon!)
