Two Turtle Doves — DIY Embroidery Ornament (Part 1: Stitching)
There’s something so peaceful about settling in with a cozy embroidery project when the weather turns chilly. Today, I’m excited to share Part 1 of our Two Turtle Doves ornament series — inspired by the beloved “Twelve Days of Christmas” carol.
In this first video, we’ll focus on the embroidery portion of the ornament: soft details, gentle textures, and the sweet shapes of the doves themselves. Whether you’re making this as a gift, adding it to your holiday tree, or just enjoying a festive craft moment, I hope this little project brings calm and joy to your day.
If you’d like to stitch along, you can find the complete Two Turtle Doves ornament pattern — with detailed step-by-step instructions and printed fabric — in my shop: 👉 here
Grab your hoop, threads, and a warm drink — let’s stitch together.
A Few Notes Before You Begin
This design pairs beautifully with the other ornaments in the Twelve Days of Christmas series.
The finished piece will be 4” wide x 5.5” tall, 8.5”tall (with a tassel).
Take your time — the charm of these ornaments comes from slow, thoughtful stitching.
I can’t wait to share Part 2: Assembling the Ornament with you next!
Thank you for being here and stitching along with me.
