Switch Dock Cover : Cross Stitch Finishing Technique

April 10, 2020October 7, 2026 Siri0Tagged Cross stitch, Finish, Tutorial

Flatfold No-Glue Cross Stitch Finishing Tutorial

March 20, 2020October 7, 2026 Siri0Tagged Cross stitch, Finish, Tutorial

It’s only a few weeks ’til Valentine’s Day and I hadn’t quite found a good gift for my boyfriend yet. So I decided to make one! When I saw this pattern by QuaternionCreations I knew what I wanted to do. But I put together a flat ornament that he can hang in his office. Plus […]

This silly design is now available at the big E. A This silly design is now available at the big E. And yes, I do plan to open a Fybe store eventually. I know a few of you have asked. I'm just waiting for paypal implementation.

And I also really need to get around to setting up my website for sales, but that's a whole 'nother project that will take months.

In the meantime, don't forget about small designers like me who still rely on Etsy! It may not be the ideal storefront, but it's what I have set up for now. <3

🎨 Pattern - Now on my Etsy
🧵 Threads - Stitched with DMC, Cosmo conversions included in Pattern!

Need a quick halloween pattern to decorate your ho Need a quick halloween pattern to decorate your home with? how about this FREEBIE I designed a few years  back. It's great for using up some of that variegated thread you've been hoarding not knowing what to do with it. 🤣 But it'd also do well as metallic, or just a solid bright color. Make that potion whatever you want it to be!

Could also be useful as an ORT pattern. Where you fill in the potion with the leftover bits of thread that are just long enough to get a few stitches out of, but aren't worth putting back on your bobbin. 🤔

I ended up wrapping mine on a styrofoam cube. I've got a tutorial for that finish on my website and YT if you need it 👀

And of course the pattern is free over on ☕.

I usually try to take WIP photos that don't immedi I usually try to take WIP photos that don't immediately give the design away, because that's fun. But it's hard to do in this case. 😂

So uh, how about that bright green aida? Isn't it cool? It's called "Seaglass" which is perfect for this project I think.
I don't think she sells fabric usually, but it's one by @craftigurumi . I believe I got it in her 2024 Advent Calendar. I do hope she's doing that again this year. It was a lot of fun! 👀
