I bought some evenweave a few months ago and finally decided to try it. I know you’re supposed to “stitch over 2” with this stuff but that seemed like it would still end up just looking like 14 ct aida so I decided to try this instead lol...
The Handbook for the Recently Deceased is taking a little longer than I thought, but it’s going well so far! I just have to finish up the guys jacket and add the text!
For some reason the person who made the pattern decided the letter D must be in this four different ways for the key. This one was very tricky regardless and I can’t wait to give it to my mother.
Hi everyone! First off thank you all for sharing your amazing work here. I’ve been popping in here for a few weeks now and I’m happy to say you’re all the reason today I’ve got my first kit. I’d tried cross-stitching (very basic stuff though) as a kid but now I can feel the calling is strong. I’m very excited to...
This one is the cover of the “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” from Beetlejuice! I missed a row and had to frog a bunch of the blue and redo it, but now that I’ve got everything lined up again I hope to finish this one by next week!
I want to put a cross stitch pattern on soft plastic. My plan is to just drill a bunch of tiny holes in it to make it sort of like aida cloth, but I wondered if anyone else here has tried this before or has any tips?
This is one of the first kits I got really excited about and I finally grabbed it on Black Friday. I’ve never done buttonhole stitch and it’s a lot of fun now that I have the hang of it. It’s a party at my house, as you can see.
Kind of a late post since I’ve been sick for the last couple of weeks, but here are the three patterns I made and gave out as presents this year! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
I recently spoke to the current community moderator, @kalahlora. They have moved to a different account on another instance and are no longer active here. Would anyone like to take over as the new community mod? If so, please leave a comment in this post!
I haven’t been on Lemmy too much lately for reasons. But here’s my WIP for this Wednesday. It still doesn’t have a head but even then, when the backstitch time comes, is when it will really ✨ pop ✨
DMC S471. It’s described as “satin” but it looked metallic to me. Either way, this stuff is awful. It frays like crazy leaving granny smith colored green fuzz everywhere. It’s slippery and tries to unravel even after you have it stitched into the pattern. It twists around on itself to the point that it acts like it has...
