Colourful Cross Stitch Draught Excluder
"If you live in a draughty house like mine, you can keep the cold at bay by making this draught excluder. This funky colourful draught excluder is cross stitched on one side with some playful typography “Mind The Gap” and backed in denim. This project not only is bright, colourful and humorous but quicker than your average cross stitch. Using worsted wool and a half cross stitch really speed up the project."
