The Patch-a-Day Challenge Is Nearly Ready to Begin! | Stitchscape

30 days. One small patch at a time — wherever you are.

The Patch-a-Day Challenge is so nearly ready!

I just have a few more stitches to fine-tune the support emails, and then it’ll be time for you to join in.

This 30 day sewing challenge is about finding joy in those small, simple moments — the kind where you pick up a needle, choose a scrap of fabric, and sew for the sheer pleasure of it. No rush. No pressure. Just progress, play, and a pinch of peace.

This is not about perfection; it’s about forming a gentle creative sewing habit you can actually stick to. Each day brings a tiny burst of patchwork inspiration to help you sew regularly, feel calm, and see real progress. Whether you’re a beginner or a long-time quilter, you’ll find easy, joyful ways to make stitching part of everyday life.

A fabulous lady called Alison has already taken this challenge and personalised it, by creating a patch-a-day for her love of the band Cure. The Cure Arts Collaboration do a challenge every October, so the timing was brilliant for Alison. I wonder how you'll personalise it all, so it has more relevance to your life?

And the best bit? You can take it anywhere.

Whether you’re at home, at your sewing table, or even on holiday by the sea (just like in the photo above — shared by another one of our lovely Stitchscape friends; Sue 💕), a few minutes a day can help you rediscover your creative flow. Her peaceful moment with a cup of tea, fabric scraps, and sea views sums up what this challenge is all about: small, simple acts of creativity that brighten your day.

Soon you’ll be able to sign up for free, receive gentle encouragement straight to your inbox, and enjoy a growing sense of achievement as your patches — and your confidence — and obviously to mention joy -- build day by day.

Make sure you’re on my newsletter list to be first to know when the challenge goes live.

Let’s make stitching a small, happy habit together.
