Handpicked Collection 3 | Out Now

It’s a red-letter day on the calendar for us here at Inspirations as we officially release the third collection in our Handpicked range.

Now, if you’re thinking to yourself ‘I don’t remember reading about the release of collection 1 and 2*’*, that’s understandable! Here is a quick explanation…

The first Handpicked project was released in 2019

Since then, a total of 22 Handpicked projects have been released

These projects are now grouped into collections by release date

Collection 1 = first 10 projects, Collection 2 = next 12 projects

Due to popularity, we’ll be releasing more projects than ever before

Collection 3, launching today, contains 12 brand-new projects

Collection 4 is currently in production

All Handpicked projects will be available as individual patterns

All Handpicked kits include printed instructions

Each collection will now also be published in book format

Hopefully, that helps to bring everyone up to speed on our Handpicked range.

Now, back to today’s announcement about Handpicked Collection 3…

For your stitching pleasure, we have 12 new projects to inspire and delight. Handpicked just for you!

Let’s begin with a roll call of the designers featured in Collection 3, who between them almost cover off every continent in the world such is their diversity:
