Dyeing Cross Stitch Fabric at Home – With Tea!

August 14, 2020June 29, 2026 Siri0Tagged Cross stitch, dyeing, Fabric

July’s Pixel Stitch RPG quest was about dyeing some fabric. This is something I’ve been meaning to try for years and just never got around to. It still feels daunting, but seeing everyone else give it a try for the first time really helped inspire others to try. Including myself! This is not a tutorial. […]

For the curious, here's how this year's Artfight went! I made 36 whole attacks! Meant to post this earlier in the week, but here it is.

23 pixel art, 3 cross stitch, 10 keycaps!

I will say, drawing on a small keycap with a chonky Posca pen is trickier than it seems. 🤣 I had a lot of fun though and excited to do some more next year!

Am most proud of my pixel art portraits though. I feel like I finally had a chance to really play with my silly swirly style of pixel art.  I mostly just use it for artfight, but I only managed 7 last year. And 1 the year before that! So besides my own character's references I didn't have a whole lot of practice. It was nice to really try it out on a variety of characters and creatures. Maybe next year will finally be the year I start incorporating it into my cross stitch style. ;)

Hope you had as much fun as I did if you also participated in Artfight this year! See you again next year <3

Nothing says summer for me than fruit themed cross Nothing says summer for me than fruit themed cross stitch patterns. So naturally I'm revisiting my fruity biscornu series!  Here's a look at one of the ones coming  up on my Patreon next week.

Yep, I'll be releasing two at once!  Got any guesses which fruit will be making an appearance this time around? Swipe for a WIP sneak peek of one of them 👀

What fruit combo are you most excited to see as a biscornu in this style?

A while ago I got these acrylic drawers for storin A while ago I got these acrylic drawers for storing embroidery thread. They're actually a little too shallow for a skein to lay completely flat, but once you get them all in there it's just so absolutely gorgeous that I'm not even mad. 
Here you see the full Lecien Cosmo set of threads. Aren't they absolutely stunning?

I love being able to see all the colors I have available at a glance. They're two layers of skeins per drawer, so I have a sheet of paper between the layers so I can easily pull out a layer and access the ones on the bottom row without messing up the order too much, and it's been really working wofr me so far.

If you've been looking for something like this for skein storage, I've got this one linked in my amazon storefront for you now. ;) 

As wella s the two larger drawers on the left that are holding my Cosmo Seasons threads and some other variegated threads.
Alright, alright. We're back on the summery cross Alright, alright. We're back on the summery cross stitch color palettes. I bring you TWO this week though!  A bright orangy-green palette of embroidery thread, and one with some more muted browns, yellows, and greens with a splash of purple.

Which one do you prefer??
