Hello Châtelainers!

I have some very last bit of news for this year before I hope we all take our well-deserved holiday rest: There's a prize up for grabs and an update on the crystal situation. But read for yourself :)

And above this: I wish you peaceful days with your loved ones, a happy and healthy new year, and just the best of the best. Thank you for being part of our lovely community <3

Crystal replacements for Châtelaine Designs

You've probably already noticed that it's getting harder and harder to get the Swarwoski crystals intended for the designs.

As announced, we have put together what alternatives are currently available. You can download the list in the Resources section.

Please note that this list is in no way comprehensive or intended to provide the perfect solution. This is an evolving list, so there are always more and better ways for embroiderers to find alternatives to Swarovski crystals that are no longer available. If in doubt, trust your good taste and choose what seems most appropriate to you.

If you have a good idea, comment, or addition to this list, please share it with us at updatechatelaine@gmail.com. 

Until next time!

Ela & the Châtelaine Team
