One stitch at a time

hey yall! i have to move out this week and i’m a little short on the first/last/deposit for the apartment. ($300) I’m going to pawn my older DSLR camera so I hope i can get a little bit from that but i’m still kinda panicking. so I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a moment and check out my kofi, and possibly donate or buy a wallpaper: ko-fi.com/8pxl

I also offer cross stitch patterns: HERE

the @hidinginyourwifizine is out today! it's a free PDF of different reimaginings of my girl Hatsune Miku, and of course I had to make mine a cross-stitch one 🪡

My kid is repairing a Hallowe'en costume (that I made for the one evening, not for the amount of wear that they've put into it). They have bias binding to cover where the neckline hem has come out, and because we couldn't find a perfect colour she wants to embroider something geometric (repeating) on it.

a few other borders from the same site, plate 10 looks promising

How is the back of your piece looking?

I was always told the back should be as neat as the front but I have NEVER managed it. And I can't even say it can't be done because my mum had a piece she flat framed between two panes of glass so she could show it off. She has also kept such wizardry to herself (she hasn't stitched in like 30+ years at this point so she also just might not remember) can anyone give a girl a few tips?

Also that is a stress you don't need to add to the hobby. I've stitched over 100 pieces and I can not look at most of them and tell you if the back is messy or not.

twin peaks sampler is complete!! now I need to stitch it actually… hopefully it won’t take 1000 years.
