I have 12 Peter Rabbit cross-stitch pieces my mom and I did when I was pregnant. Three years and 4 moves later, we still haven’t hung them, and my daughter wants a room in theme that wouldn’t go at all, so I am looking for something to do with them besides hanging them on the wall.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Gathering is a technique used in many sewing patterns for such areas as sleeves, ruffles, and waistbands. This video tutorial teaches you the basics of gathering using a sewing machine.

I have, and it’s actually fun to freestyle things. I could never do counted cross-stitch, and the plastic canvas is so bulky. This is just right for needle and double-strand embroidery thread.
z3mom07470 — I use iron-on adhesive to put fabric backing on. I’ve made ornaments and bookmarks and the most ambitious project was a lighthouse-shaped bookmark. I used blue and green thread in my needle to make the water and then brushed the thread when I was done to blur the stitches. It was neat. I was proud to give it as a gift.

Gottaknow asked:
I’m just starting to try out counted cross stitch and find that I need to better hide those countless tails of thread that cover the back of the canvas. They weren’t noticeable from the front until I added the stick on backing and then they all became very apparent! What do I do so the back is not inundated with roads of thread? (I don’t have this problem with needlepoint since everything can be tucked in…what’s the trick with counted cross stitch?)

Take the journey with me as I do my very latch hook technique weaving to close a weave. Most time using tracks to close hair extensions/weave is sometimes cumbersome and looks fake. With the latch hook tool method, you will get a more natural undetectable finish,enjoy, K.

I want to cross stitch fingertip towels for my bathroom with parrots on them. I’ve found lots of cool patterns for parrots but none for fingertip towels.

I’m looking for cross stitch patterns to sew onto my son’s onesies. My sister suggested Nightmare Before Christmas and I loved the idea! The only problem is, I can’t find any patterns from the movie. I don’t have the money to buy a photo converter. Does anyone know where I might find some?
