The download also includes 5 FREE cross stitch charts, which are perfectly versitile for creating party favours and decorations for any event this summer.

Top 5 cross stitch Jubilee street party ideas:
1. No hostess should be without a party rosette. Adorn your favourite jacket and wear with pride!
2. Send out 3D invites with a length of miniature bunting. Simply hand stitch your chosen lettering onto scraps of colourful fabric and attach to your card with a piece of red and white bakers twine.
3. Light up your garden with thrify lanterns made from old jam jars and decorate with stitched flags. Use soluble canvas to cross stitch onto patterned fabrics for a really professional finish.
