Not a very exciting photo today because I have been busy to make a tutorial for my daughter Nadya. She is in Houston (studies in Dallas) at the moment and had the idea to make cross stitch towels for her friends for Christmas. Nadya is very good in many things, but sewing is not one of them... As you might know I love sewing and a few years ago a made a few of these towels for her friends.
Anyway in order to practice her cross stitch and hand sewing skills, she decided to make one for the lady in who's house she has been staying the past 2 months. She is almost done with the cross stitching part, so now she needed to know how to get it on the towel. I made a quick example and took iPhone pictures all the way.
Hope she understands it, but if not, I'm sure she will let me know
I haven't done cross stitch since I was a child, I used to love it! I am a terrible seamstress, which would make my grandmother and various great aunties turn in their grave as they were all professional! But I do love the look of cross stitch. This is great.
my, this takes me back. i learned cross stitching back in '93, and made so many but i only have 3 framed ones with me now. my first project was a really complicated bird and flower thing. you should see the back - it was like chaos. then i went into towels, but i bought the special fabric where after you've stitched the designs, you pulled the strands out and the design remained on the towels. did them as gifts. whenever i go to a friend's house and see her tip towels in the bathroom, i feel so proud of my handiwork. i envy the likes of you who can work the sewing machines and cut fabrics without mistake. :-D you got nice colours on this. very lovely.
